Since we started "solids" with Molly a couple of weeks ago she has been decreasing her intake of her Dream Feed bottle. Coinciding with the solids introduction, I increased her bottles from 6 oz. to 8 oz. She is on 4 hour EASY so takes approx. 32 oz. of formula a day plus whatever she eats in cereal and veggies/fruits. I feed her cereal only in a.m. and cereal and veggies or fruit in the p.m.
Looking back over her journals, starting on Sunday her DF has dropped quite considerably! She only took 3 oz. Sunday then down to 2 oz. for Monday, Tuesday and last night simply refused!
Her night wakings have increased to about 6x a night, so when we were up last night at 3 a.m. I thought she might be hungry and tried to give her a bottle. She just lay there with the nipple in her mouth, totally not interested!
My question is...is it OK to drop the DF now since she doesn't seem to want or need it anyways?? I know it's not outlined that way in the BW book but I don't want to force her and have her wake up all unsettled.
Anyone else been in the same boat??
Any advice? Thanks ! :lol:
