sma white?

[fran_23]

hi girls..i've been using sma gold since i had to stop bfing and had no problems with it..its just that in the last 2 weeks Hayden has gone from 7 ounces every 4hrs to 8 or 9 ounces every 3 hours (although he goes about 9- 10 hours with no feed at night) hes a bit of a milk monster i was thinking i might try him on sma white and see how he goes..does anyone else use this..do you think it will help?? or shall i persevere on the sma gold for longer? i'm not sure HV is NO help (do they ever help) she says do what i feel is best?!

 

sounds like he is having a growth spurt hun, If he seems content on the milk I would leave him on it a little longer before resorting to SMA White. But then you do know your baby better than me - he may well need more satisfaction. Don't worry if he wants to just feed alot though he may start to go longer at night if he is having more in the day. they often level themselves out.

thanks Sami..i think i'll carry on with the gold for now i just thought what with having no way of upping the ounces now(well not in 1 bottle anyway) just feeding more regularly..that there was no where to go! i'll try and stick it till next month..i'm gonna try him on some solids next month if hes ready! if hes not i'll prob start trying the white!

i went from gold to white and it didnt really makea difference. probably a growth spurt, i bet he cuts back in a few days.

We did that with Jamie.
J was drinking so much we thought we would try him on the SMA White it takes longer to digest than the Gold but we still thought that he was drinking way too much milk for a small tummy so we decided to give him some baby rice, he was 3 months then.

We did that & after a couple of weeks we gave him some rusks then progressed gradually from there.
