Am I feeding her too much?
Hi
My lo was EBF until 4 1/2 months and she remained pretty much on the 75th percentile line. She was 8lbs1oz at birth and at 4 months she was 15lbs 15oz.
Now a month later, she takes 3 x 7oz bottles a day and she was on two BF (one first thing and one at 10.30pm). Last night I dropped the 10.30pm feed but I upped the 3 bottles to 9oz. So, 7am breastfeed, followed by 9oz at 11am, 3pm and 7pm. She guzzles the lot. I weighed her on the hospital baby scales today and she was 19lbs 2oz. She's escalated to the 95th percentile. This is obviously because of the formula but should I feed her less or just continue the same?
She is looking a little chubster but a gorgeous chubster - as in the cute baby rolls of fat. She is fairly long as well ( has always been on the 75th percentile for height). She is a lot happier now she's on the formula. Any ideas?
