I started DS on Aptimel - 1, we had tp go to Aptimel Extra- 2 (for hungry babies) within weeks, he is still on it now. If he is draining his bottles, it sounds like he needs more in the bottle. DS takes 11oz before bed, split between 2 bottles. Is he looking for a feed before the 4hrs? I think your right, it won't be long before he wakes in the night for more.
Just looked at their site, they have SMA white for hungry babies.
http://www.smanutrition.co.uk/products/white.htmWhat is it?
SMA White is an infant milk for hungrier babies. SMA White is a casein (curd) based formula. This means it contains a protein which seems to take longer to digest, and so is useful for babies not totally satisfied with a whey-based infant milk.
When can I use it?
SMA White can be used at any age from birth onwards, when moving from breast feeding to bottle feeding or to complement breast feeding.
Where can I get it?
SMA White can be purchased from supermarkets, high street chemists and often from your local corner shop.
What formats are available?
SMA White is available in cans of powder, (450g and 900g), quick and easy to prepare 8oz sachets with no need to scoop and ready to use cartons (250ml and 1 litre) of liquid feed, ideal when you are out and about with your baby.
