Hi, can anyone give me some advice on moving to bottles at 6 months.
My lo turned 6 months on friday and since the babysitter got him to take a bottle saturday night I decided this was a sign and to go for it. But things are a bit hit and miss, I am not 100% sure of his hunger signs, so we are going through a lot of bottles with only a little feed at each go. I don't know whether this is because he is used to smaller feeds via the breast or whether I need to try to extend his feeds out.
Should he be on a 4 hour routine, or should I start on 3 hours then extend it ?
How much should he be on in a day as he has only just started weaning?
Since you can only keep a bottle for an hour once heated, if he has some, then wants to leave it a while, can I reheat it during that hour for a second attempt as he only likes it very warm?
He also at the moment makes sounds like he is hungry then when I feed him, he takes a bit, then cries and pushes it away, then pulls it towards him, puts it in his mouth and cries and pushes it away. What could this mean? Too cold? Teething?
Any advice would be a help,
thanks
