On Demand feedng???
Hi guys
Whats the general opinon on feeding these days. Is feeding on demand the way to go or stick to a set time period. My mother got me in a stress last night going on about sticking to the four hour rule and not feeding on demand. What on earth she is basing this four hours on I dont know as your average adult eats more often than that. Anyone any ideas??
Cheers

I fed my first on demand and I'll do the same for this one. My first eventually fell into feeding routine.

Allie - my mum tells me stories like this as well, in fact I was such a screamer I was put in the sin bin and not in the nursery as I disturbed all the other babies! Explains a lot really....!

My baby is bottle-fed and feeds every 3 hours when he is awake. When he is asleep he can go up to 5-6 hours without a bottle. The way I see it if he was hungry he'd be awake and screaming.
I think it is better to feed on demand, they fall into a routine by themselves.

After reading a couple of diff books & advice from friends/family etc, i will be (trying) to set a routine (am bottle feeding) - i think it will be easier for myself/hubby and also "Bubble" when he/she arrives.
I think everyone's got to do whats right for them and you can't set anything in stone....my plans will prob go out the window...as long as i can be flexible!!
