Do i start weaning her?

[faithsmummy]

Well faith is 4 months now and i think she is showing signs of being ready to be weaned!

She has started waking at night for the last week for feeds she is waking every 3 hours and has 5 ozs!
She has taken a huge intrest in me and partner when we eat!!
During the day she is on the bottle all the time every hour taking about 3-4 ozs!!

Im so nervous about weaning her because of the choking spells she has had and the hospital trips ive been on!!

Does she sound ready????

Sounds like it to me, I started my daughter at 16 weeks as she was having about 42 oz a day of hungry baby milk! Try her with a little (about teaspoon) of plain baby rice mixed with her formula at teatime and see how you go from there.

I thought Jake was ready to be weaned around this age but I put it off and I think it must have been a growth spurt or something as he stopped waking after a while. I then started weaning Jake at 5 1/2 months. It is up to you but maybe wait for a week and see if she is still waking or not.

I agree with Gemma, this age is a big developmental stage and her feeding pattern could well change after a few days! I say this because Fin has been the same on and off for a few weeks. He has settled down now and feeding is back to as it was before (apart from the all new teething situation lol!)

Finley has been having 6x 6oz feeds a day and now started waking through the night and having 6oz too and still being hungry, ive put it off for as long as i can but now hes getting more and more hungry ive decided to bite the bullet

if shes only taking 4-5oz try giving her 6 and see if it helps a bit more, 4-5oz aint that much really is it?

or maybe my son is just a hungry horace
