Hi all,
Just looking for some advice 2weeks ago we changed Dylan to ff as I was given my 3rd lot of antibiotics since he arrived and he doesn't react well to them. I was advised by the hv that he should have half his weight in oz so should have between 5 and 6oz per feed. At the moment he takes about 3/4oz but sometimes only 2oz and sometimes 6oz. Because of this he doesn't always take the full amount of oz he should in a day. I'm trying to get into a routine but can't because he's not consistent with feeds sometimes going 4hours other times just 2. How do I get him to take more per feed so I can get him into more of a routine and ensure he had his full amount per day? Or should I just go with what he wants? I feel like we've gone back to the beginning again!
Thanks for any replies x x x
