How much formula should a 2 week old be having?
Hi ladies,
Had to switch to FF from BF earlier this week due to various problems- (am now on antibiotics so that made the decision for me.) Have been giving DS SMA Gold- he seems to be wanting a feed every 3 hours and can easily gulp away 4oz. He seems to have adjusted well to the change except from the night feeds- seems to fight with the bottle, cries for ages & be very windy. I have also noticed that his poos are becoming more solid & he struggles to push it out sometimes- but not sure if this is coincidence?
Just wondering how much formula is advised for a 2 week old- dont want to be overfeeding him. I have been checking nappies etc before giving him a feed. Also what is advised re. giving LO boiled water?
xxxxxxx

I'm afraid i cant help with the night feeds though, perhaps try gripe water or infacol before feeds at night? Some of the other ladies might be able to help you with that one!

You could try invacol too but it made Jason throw up and the hv said if you are using a comfort milk for colicy babies you don't need it because a similar type of thing is in the milk.
O/T but how are you feeling since having the baby? Has your spg gone away?

My SPD went more or less the day after birth- can u believe it!!! I cant even remember what it felt like. How are things going with you hun?
I would be out and about if it wasn't for my c-section stitiches causing me trouble- i have picked up two infections & wound is still so sore! Hope my bad luck runs out soon. But he is so worth it!!!
I hope we all stay in touch even though we have had the babies- its nice to know how everybody is getting on!!!
