Can anyone answer a few queries;
I have just bought the baby whisperer book, and am two days into the routine, my very pleasant baby boy is 6 months old and until recently was not abig eater, however, over the last week he has been drinking over 40 ounces of milk a day, with around 16 ounces being drunk after his 7pm bed and feed. I have just started the dream feed, which he took no problem last night at 10.30, but he awoke at 1.30, was inconsolable with the pu/pd, til i fed him a full 7 ounce bottle at 2.45am. He then went straight back to sleep. Can he be this hungry? My health visitor thinks he should have 5, 7 ounce bottles a day and NO MORE but this is impossible. He has been on a few ounces of solids for a week now. Is this amount of milk normal, the BW book says they can eat around 44 ounces, so I don't feel too bad.
Also does the dream feed take a little time to kick in? He has never slept more than 5 - 6 hours in the night up to now and I am tired :|
