HI,
I'm not sure if I'm over feeding my nearly 5 month son. He is on routine, starts from about 6.30 am and has formula every 3hrs until 6.30pm then sleeps through the night.I was giving him 200mls x 5, but aas I have previously posted, my GP told me this is too much. I then started to try stretching his bottles to 4 hours. This did not work. I'm also giving him half a tin of fruit or vegies three times a day. And now, he his drinking 250mls of formula as well. So, now he his getting:
6.30 250mls of formula
9.30 250mls formula + 1/2 tin fruit
12.30 250mls of formual + 1/2 tin fruit
3.30 250mls of formula
6.30 250mls of formual + 1/2 tin vegies
Am I overfeeding him?????? My son weighs 7.26kg (19weeks old) and sleeps great. Looks a bit chubby, but very CUTE!
worried mum!!
