Yeah, no doubt!! She's started to stop mid-bottle again though, and I'm not sure why. Grrr. It throws everything off. But she's a big baby and I don't have to worry about weight (over 95th percentile for height and weight). So hard as it's gonna be I might just have to play hardball and not feed her except at her 4 hour schedule and eventually she'll get the idea. It's not even all breast milk anymore, so she should definitely be able to make it to 4 hours with formula!!!

 I havent been on the forum for a while so just sae this post. Its funny...my LO has also started to stop half way through again!!I am not worrying about it this time. I am just feeding every 4 hours and it seems to be ok apart from the fact that she cries for food now at 4 hours when before she didnt. No problem though - I just have to make sure I have the bottle ready to go!
Have you started weaning onto food yet?

Funny, I'm back to the same problem too: she's started to not take a full bottle either. I STILL can't get her to eat a full breakfast. Yesterday she only took 2 oz and absolutely refused more until after her first nap. ??? hehe.

I've tried. I was offering it 2-3 times a day but she would rarely even take one bite. I have stopped for a while and will try again in a couple weeks probably. Have you started weaning to food yet?
