O/T great advice!!

Pointless post but I had to laugh at clinic this am when got lo weighed. He's becming a but of a porker and jumped up another centile for weight and is now 16lb at 16 wks, but still on 9th for length. He still wakes in night fir feed sohaving 6 bottles 7oz bottles a day although doesn't Always drink all.

The hv there said 'you could really do with dropping that night feed' and I was just thinking, it's not like I set my alarm for 3 in the morning! So we're going to try hungry milk for him!

Pointless post as I said but it was laugh or cry at her suggestion!! X :lol:

    Makes you wonder if the woman engaged brain before mouth... I would have been sarcastic, 'Oh OK, I'll have a chat with my baby and tell him...'

    AJ was almost 18lbs at 18 weeks and he has anywhere from 6-9 bottles, sometimes sleeps through sometimes doesn't, these babies will eat what and when they want xxx
