Title: little one maybe needing more than just milk but dont know where to start??
Post by: sprigglet22 on February 21, 2006, 17:14:49 pm

???
my little one is nearly 5 months and she was born 5 weeks premature, I'm finding that she may need more than just milk to satisfy her in the evening she becomes restless, my health visitor is useless and isn't giving me any help and I'm just so confused. a friend of mine said to try baby rice mixed with her milk and to try rusks during the day. if i do this would i be doing the right thing or would i just be pushing her too much. any help would be great.

Have you tried her on hungrier milk?

I didn't start my DD on solids until she was 51/2 months old and she was 3 weeks premature.

Hiya
This is just a suggestion and I find it works for me to get more oz's into him at night.

I give Calum  his last feed at 7pm, he takes as much of his bottle as he can usually 5 - 7oz then he goes for his bath and then he get the last part of his bottle, usually another 5oz (yes I need to top up the bottle).  I also put a scoop of baby rice into his bottle, he seems to like the slightly thicker texture.

P.S he is on Aptimel 2  - for hungrier babies (from birth - 6months)
