Post subject: Weaning - is it possible to overfeeding baby? Hi ladies
My lo is now on 3 meals a day. She has the following schedule 7am. 7oz 8am. Porridge 10.30am. 4oz 12pmish. Lunch (around 5 tablespoons of meat/veg), petit filous 2.30ish. 5oz 4pmish. Tea (around 5 tablespoons of meat/veg) 7pmish. Struggling to get her to drink, usually takes 3oz Is it possible that I'm feeding her too much food? I was under the impression she would stop when had enough, she generally slows down when had enough. Is this right? I'm concerned she not getting much fluid between 2pm and 7pm and she generally doesn't have another bottle until 7am the next morning. Can anyone offer any advice? When I give her the milk she's not "asking for it", I just offer it. She only taking a few sips of water at meal times so not getting much fluid that way either. Thanks xx Xx _________________  Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2012 9:35 pm
Post subject: Well, Caelan's not even 5 months but is eating as much as your LO, more actually... And about the same amount of milk, so I don't think you're overfeeding her.
Is she drinking plenty of water when she eats his meals? If so, I really wouldn't worry about her fluid intake in the evening. _________________   [/url]

Post subject: When he's done with his bottles he pushes his bottle out with his tongue. With solid food he starts spitting it out if he doesn't want anymore. (which doesn't happen very often)
Caelan sometimes drinks loads of water, sometimes barely any. I would say though if she doesn't get enough fluids you would notice in the nappies, hard poo and very yellow wee all the time. I wouldn't worry hun. _________________ [/url]
