2 bottles
well we are now a 2 bottle a day house we've had a few appointments with various people and we now just offer Alyssa her morning bottle she takes 2oz max then her bedtime bottle when she takes 6oz on a good night.
Forcing her the milk when she would just not want it was upsetting me so much and was making her reflux a whole lot worse.
So for the last week we have given her just the 2 and when she has had enough we stop i put about 5oz on her breakfast so that makes me feel a little better, what a joy the last few days have been though not force feeding my daughter!!!
Just wanted to share that i am a happier mummy with a happier baby
A relieved Clair and a much happier Alyssa

pleased its gotbetter for u too!
She has 5oz on her porridge in the morning too the same as Alyssa.
Seems to be working well so far! x x
On a selfish note, it makes things easier for me as only have to take food when we're going out during the day not a bottle as well.
Glad you are all well and happier for it.
I am going to chat to my piediatrician (SP??) on the 2nd about dropping Emilia's 3pm bottle. She doesn't want it and just shouts at me till I give up. I have tried putting it in a beaker but she just throws it everywhere! Like mummypiglet said, I think they have come to think of milk like a drink rather than food. Plus as I said to you before, if it hurts their tummies then I dont blame them not wanting it.
Glad you now have a happy house - you can see from your pics that Alyssa is obviously thriving.
