breastfeeding and sma???
hey guys,
i would like to start giving my little girl (four months) sma on the last feed of the night (mainly to see if she will sleep longer). i cant get her to take it tho, she will have my milk from the bottle but not sma. i have tried it warm and room temp but not a chance. she will just scream and scream (half an hour tonight) i cant do it to her she gets in a right mess. i have tried leaving the room and my partner feed her, so she belives im not here, but nothing works. i was hoping to stop when she was 6months but getting worried now lol. any one got any tips??
thanks sarah xx

hope you get there
There is no guarantee either that the formula will help little one to sleep longer either I think from around 4 months I was already giving some baby rice in the day as well as all normal feeds but he still didn't start sleeping longer in the night until about 5 and half months when I just decided to stop night feeds and settle him instead.
Could you express enough for your partner to give a bottle of ebm in the night every now and then so you could have a bit of extra sleep? Hope she starts to sleep a bit more for you soon anyway x x x
I'd wait another day to see if the poops stay green before you try block feeding or talk to an LC first.
I'm not sure the impact antibiotics play in changing bowel colors but maybe call the ped ifyou are worried. :roll:
