Aaaaaaaaaaargh! Its like trying to feed the triffid from little shop of horrors!! FEED ME SEYMORE! 
As you know I spoke to HV who have agreed eefie needs some solids so we started him on baby rice once a day. He is still constantly hungry, I can get him to stretch to 3 hours between feeds. I dread going out as I feed him minutes before and if he wakes up when I'm out he kicks off so everything is rush rush rush.
HV came round and he woke up whilst she was there so she saw what he's like, he'd been fed 8oz just an hour and half before hand and was kicking off for more. She's now recommended baby rice at least 2-3 times a day. I mix up 3 spoons of rice with 3oz milk (that makes about 20 spoonfuls) and he eats the lot PLUS an 8oz bottle and still he wants more
He's awake most of the day and its like a constant cycle of feeding, trying to pacify him with a dummy or distraction until the next feed.
He just never seems content, well sometimes he'll sleep after a feed for abot half hour max then it starts again. I dont think there's anything else I can do as hes got to stay on baby rice only until 17 weeks, HV said he's already the weight that babies wean so agrees he needs a little bit more.
He's 14 and half pound at 9 weeks. There's another little boy who lives near me same age and weight but he's a happy content little soul on mixed breast and formula feeding, makes me wonder if there's something wrong with him as he's never content
