Hiya everyone,
My little girl "Grace" arrived three days ago, I was looking for some advice on feeding.
I have chosen to bottle feed & I use SMA GOLD. I started with her on 30mils which I have slowly moved to 50 mils but she is still wanting more! I sit ok to up it to 60 mils or am I in danger of over feeding her? She feeds every 3 to 4 hours and weighed 6lb 11oz at birth.

Also I'm having difficulty winding her....any tips?

firstly, congrats!

if she is finishing the bottle then i would make more. she will stop if she is full.

as for tips. walking around with alice does the trick for us. but i have to stop mid feed and burp her most of thetime.

I always got told give them what they ask for! Is gold a hungry baby one?> I used cow and gate so i dont know but if it isnt, put her on a hungrier baby milk but an SMA one. A lot of people i know used SMA and had the same problems.

With the winding, try gently tilting her on her back and slowly back up to sitting again, do this til one "fallsout" good luck
