FOR MOMMIES OF INFANTS (AROUND 10 MONTHS OLD): CAN YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF YOUR BABY’S FEEDING SCHEDULE?
Apr 11th
Question by Blessed:
For mommies of infants (around 10 months old): Can you give me an example of your baby’s feeding schedule?
My ten-month old has just starting eating more solids-finally three meals a day. I give her a bottle before each meal because otherwise I do not think she drinks enough. I try to get her to drink at least 24 ounces of formula per day. I know that once she turns one year old, she should get most of her nutrition from solids rather than formula, so I would like to gradually ease her into that transition. Can you give me an example of your feeding schedule, and any other tips on solids vs. formula? And what about teething cookies? Good snack?

SISTER REFUSES TO FEED INFANT MORE THAN 4OZ BECAUSE “SHES GETTING FAT”.?
Mar 25th
Question by wazzzup:
Sister refuses to feed infant more than 4oz because “shes getting fat”.?
My sister recently visited me (she has a 1 month old girl) and she has a past of un-diagnosed anorexia (she is obsessed with her own weight, starving herself to lose weight, etc).
Earlier in the day she told me that she thought the baby was “getting fatter”. That night I offered to take her for the night so my sister could get some rest and my sister refused (even though she was exhausted). The next morning, i saw a bottle of water sitting next to her bassinette, and when giving her a bath my sister pinched the babys sides and said “See, shes getting bigger”
It didnt occur to me until after she left what was going on. My sister refused to give the baby more than 4 oz. of formula every 4 hours, and gave her only water after that if she was fussy because she feels shes “getting fat”.
My questions are:
If I make a call to her physician (whom I know very well) and just make an anonymous tip/tell him whats going on, do you think he would listen?
Also shes getting food, so if C&Y got involved, I know they wouldnt find anything because shes eating- just not enough. Shes always fussy and sucks SO fast when she gets her bottle- shes hungry!. Ive tried explaining this to my sister but she just wont listen & would rather give the baby water. Trying to explain to her the horrible nutrition aspect would be like trying to nail jello to a tree.
I dont know what to do….

i dont like the action of breast feeding.please dont respond to this if ur going to push breast feeding in my face.ive done my research and made my decision.so please just help with my question at hand.

SKIPPING THE NIGHT TIME FEEDING?
Feb 4th
Question by Dr. Souc:
Skipping the night time feeding?
My 11 week old son usually goes to bed at 8 pm and sleeps until 230. I feed and lay him back down with no problem. About 21/2 to 3 hours later he is back up crying. I have tried the patting and sushing, the pacifier (usually holds him for 30 extra min at a time). The only thing that seems to get him back to sleep is a bottle, and I know he can obviously go longer in between feedings. Sometimes he will take a full bottle and other times he will only take a little. Any one else with a similar problem? Need some tips to try and skip this feeding or is he just being an infant and this stage to will pass?

REFLUX, FEEDING, TEETHING… HELP!?
Jan 2nd
Question by outerlimitnz:
Reflux, feeding, teething… HELP!?
My 3 month old baby girl has Refulx… She was taking Infant Gaviscon out of a bottle before I breastfeed. About a week ago she turned her nose up to the breast and was prefering the bottle. My physician put her on Ranitidine to stop the need for bottles so she’d keep feeding off me but we are still having to top her up with formula as I do not seem to have enough milk. It is almost impossible to get her to take her ranitidine and she spits it out (so would I!!! it tastes bad) so I do not know if I should now go back the the gaviscon. She will stip periodically feed from me but still refuses occasionaly so I can’t do away with the bottles completely…. she also seems to have really bad wind with breast and bottle!!!
Ontop of all this she is now slicing a tooth… not a normal first tooth it’s her canine or first molar (not sure which) so is no longer sleeping though the night!
I comprehend that this is all normal baby stuff but would love any tips or ideas to make it easier…..

TIPS FOR A VERY GASSY 3 WEEK OLD?
Dec 16th
Question by makotsute:
Tips for a very gassy 3 week old?
I’m having a lot of gas issues with my 3 week old daughter. She gulps so much air as shes feeding (bottle fed) and no matter how many times we take the bottle away to slow her down, it doesn’t make a difference. She fights being burped by tensing up and crying making it very difficult to get any gas out, and even when she does burp well it doesn’t seem to make a difference. As she sleeps you can hear the gas gurgling in her tummy from across the room. It’s becoming frustrating as she never sleeps soundly and takes forever to put back to bed.
I’ve discussed it with my doctor, who doesn’t seem to think there is an underlying issue. He suggested adding a little sugar to her bottles to help (not sure how it would, but we tried it) It worked for a little while but doesn’t seem to be making a difference anymore.
Other things I have tried:
- burping more often (currently she burps about twice every half ounce) and in every position imaginable
- loosening the bottle lids
- tightening the bottle lids
- removing all air from liners
- leaving a little air in the liners to make sure there’s enough airflow for formula to pass
- sitting her up to eat
- sugar
- ovol (makes almost no difference at all)
- ‘bicycling’ her legs
- switching formulas (currently on similac senstive lactose free, it concurs with her superior than others were)
- checking all soothers to make sure they were not leaking air
- using store bought bottled water vs. boiled tap water
Let me stress – this is not a colic issue- she fusses and wakes up often, but not screaming unrelentingly. She’s overall a fairly content baby. She does have other symptoms suggesting GERD… however my physician doesn’t believe GERD exists in infants and will not diagnose… lol.
PLEASE moms, any tips/home remedies/otc medicines/tricks you have, do share! My little girls tummy and my sleep deprivation will thank you! =)
