Baby feeding

honey, put some rice cereal in his bottle! you might need to cut the hole in the nipple to make it a little wider, just stick a steak knife through it so he can suck... your baby doctor will say no but i have three kids and didnt do it with my first because i thought i'd hurt her. i never slept. she cried alll night hungry. i feed every 2 hours. my 3rd kid was eating baby food out of a feeder at 6 weeks old and sleeping throgh the night! e-mail me any time for tips! angie.embry@yahoo.com!

This was a common problem with our little one and we wrote about this very subject a lot in our Pregnancy Diary

At 3 months our litte one was having a growth spurt. I think it might be a little early to give baby rice but it might be time to try the thicker forumla milk?

what would the thicker formula be cause he is on prosobe with soy milk

Dont change his formula if hes not spitting it up or having any other reactions!!! Just buy the infants rice ceareal in the formula isle at the grocery store and make that bottle thick!

Sweetie your baby is going through a 'growth spurt' this is normal for babies to go through.. this is where they frequently feeding..physical growth is the not the only reason for this spurt to happen but also for other developmental advances.. such as rolling over..crawling walking.. etc.. growth spurts happen to babies around the time of their age such as 7-10 days..2-3 weeks..4-6 weeks.. 3 months ( probably close to what your baby is concerning age which is a reason for the increase in appetite.).. 4 months ..6 months and so on... these growth spurts last for 24 hours to about a week.. there is nothing wrong with your baby at all.. your baby is actually doing great! Just let your baby lead and you both will do just fine.. let the baby cue you and flow into the growth spurts by providing him the nutrition he needs.. every 2 to 3 hours is ok for a bottle fed baby during a growth spurt.. breast babies go every hour to 2 hours between feedings ( I have went through this).. so your little one is normal.. he is developing well and needs the frequent feedings to help him grow and be a healthy little man!... good luck!

P.s do not add cereal to your baby's bottle.. that is a big no no!.. you can actually over feed the baby because the cereal will expand in his belly when he is fed a thick bottle.. this can cause him to spit up and choke on his own vomit.. it is best to go with the flow and give the baby formula.. it is actually a myth adding cereal to your baby's bottle..
