How best to deal with growth spurt?
« on: May 24, 2006, 11:22:46 am »
Hey guys,

My 10 month old DS is apparently going through a growth spurt.  The last 4 nights we've had to feed him during the night (full feeds, gulped it down in about 2 minutes).  His formula intake including night feed last night was 37 freakin' ounces, LOL!!  I know that they're not supposed to have more than 32 (max) at this age but here's my question...he didn't want solids at ALL yesterday...just his bottle.  Since formula is higher in calories, etc than solids anyway, should I encourage this formula binge that he's currently on, or try to hold back on bottles and really push the solids first?  We've had our morning feed & brekkie so far today and I gave the solids first and he had quite a bit but then he's only had 4 oz of formula.  Is this a step forward or a step back?  I'm just not sure how to get the most calories in him so that he won't need to down that 1am bottle.

Thanks!!
