Hi Alison,
I offer water with the solid food. I read on the site that babies arent as hydrated on formula as they are when breastfed - and as the temps are now 28 degrees here in Aus I thought I should offer a bit more if we are heading out for a walk during the day. I also found on another post that about 600ml is good for a baby 6mths +
if so then I guess we are doing ok??
I was thinking that maybe I should offer food a bit closer to bottle time - say 45 mins after?? (my days seem to revolve around food at the moment, me on a gluten free diet and food for Emilio and also lunches for dad
at least I get to eat what Emilio eats, steamed vegies etc which is always good)
You cant help but worry about these things - esp when little cousin is a 'wee chunker' and Emilio is looking 'normal' for a baby, average size. As always if he is happy then he is happy! and always putting on weight.
He is able to sleep through the night now, well 50% of the time he needs a night time visit then he is ok - not hungry.
aahhh the joys of parenting, and this is only the start
thanks, Vanessa
