now that we are on 3 meals a day, and Freya is taking all her bottles no problem I would have thought our nights would be more peaceful. But she has started waking around 4am for a night feed again.
i have tried giving water etc but nope, she REALLY wants a bottle and takes a full 8oz
it has been suggested to me that she is not getting enough during the day to sustain her at night.
so how much food does your baby get?
she gets her porridge in the morning, made with 1oz milk and 1oz water.
i batch cook everything, and freeze in little 4oz pots. I half fill these pots so I am guessing there is around 2oz of food in them.
She gets one at lunch, and 1 at dinner. She doesnt always finish them, but nearly.
Looking at jars so you can compare, I guess she would take around half a jar full at dinner and lunch? I also give a fromage frais after lunch, and some poached fruit after dinner.
going by an Ellas 7mnth pouch, she would take just under half of one of them per meal?
she also gets snacky finger food to sook on during the day, like baby biscotti, cheese sticks, a few kiddie crisps. Most of this does end up on the floor.
is she just not getting enough?
