Hi all my son has just turned 8 months and although I didn't use this forum whilst I was pregnant, I've certainly used it since he was born last July.
To give you a bit of background my son was born and I attempted to breastfeed him, after a vicious circle of jaundice, no milk coming in and mis advice from midwifes he was taken back into hospital at day 5 due to too much weight loss and then we switched to bottle feeding. His weight then gradually increased. So since he was born I've always been anxious over his weight.
He's just dropped his 4th bottle so we are now on 3 (7 3,7 ) he was drinking 8 oz bottles on morning and night but he's recently had cold which has made him throw up and also he has no teeth yet so think it's all linked. It's great to read that I'm not the only one who's little one is slowly dropping milk, hes never been a great drinker but the hv's have pushed the 600mls down my neck constantly. I too give him cheese in meals and fromage frais to bulk the amount up
I currently give him his 2nd bottle after his tea but I'm thinking I should give it midafternoon but he's normally asleep 3-4ish. Lunch is 12.30 ish and tea is 4pm. Bedtime bottle is 7.30. Can anyone share their routine ??
Also what ways do you use to get cheese into your little ones I had made a vegetable and cheese sauce recipe but my son keeps gagging on it and doesn't seem to like it. The only other thing I have is pasta and Tomato and cheese sauce and I'm already paranoid that I'm giving him the same thing over and over again !
Thanks all xx
