Hi Everyone,
My ds is 9mo, he had a late start at solids due to some gas issues (he still has them but we switched formula and added tummy drops to help). My questions is, the pediatrician said we are feeding him too much formula so he isn't wanting for food & he needs to eat for his body to learn to digest.
He was eating 7-8 (8oz) bottles per day. She said to reduce to 3-4 bottles. How much solids do I give him? Should I reduce amt of formula? If so how/when should I feed solids?
Here is his eating schedule:
6:30/7:00ish 8oz formula
10:00/10:30 2T pureed solids & 4oz formula
12:00/12:30 8oz formula
2:30/3:00 2T pureed solids & 4oz formula
5:30/6:00 8oz formula
8:30/9:00 8oz formula
no night feedings
My dh is beginning to wonder if he has gas issues due to over feeding
Do you think I am feeding him too much, what changes in schedule would you make?
Thanks!
btw, he cannot eat cereal (throws it up ..rice/oat/wheat/barley etc)
