should i feed more often?
« on: December 05, 2005, 22:59:39 pm »
I have my soon to be 5 month old daughter on 4 hour easy...so she eats at 6:30 am, 10.30 am, 2:30 pm, and last feed before bed around 6:30pm to 7 pm. I don't dream feed her, and she sleeps till 6:30 am the next morning. I am bf and we haven't started solids yet. Am I nuts to be thinking she needs more milk...she is not demanding it, it just seems that everyone else baby I know is eating more than her. She just had her check-up last week and she is growing fine...she weighs 14.2 pounds...she was 6 pounds when she was born. So should I try and feed her more or just follow her lead?

Sounds like you guys are doing great.   I would continue to follow her lead.  She should have a growth spurt around 6 months old so she will most likely demand more from you during that time.

Ditto!  It can be hard not to compare with other parents and babies, but she sounds happy and healthy, so...if it's not broke.... :wink:
