Hi ZacsMum. I've posted before somewhere regarding feeding issues. My daughter (now 9 months) has never really ever taken the "correct" amount of formula (she's been on formula since 4 1/2 weeks). From about 3-4 months, she started refusing to feed more than 100ml a time, and when she was meant to be having 900-1000ml of formula a day, she would probably have about 600-700ml. I had been told so much stuff, and had read different things about how much she should be having, that I finally went to my GP to settle it once and for all! He really eased my mind, and I guess it's common sense, but I just needed reassuring. Basically, if bub is active, healthy with enough wet nappies, then don't lose sleep over the milk issue. (I think all babies have grizzly days at some stage!) Babies, like us, know when they've had enough. If you're concerned, go and see your GP or health nurse. I started my daughter on solids at 4 1/2 months because she wasn't interested in the milk, and she's never looked back! Now, she's on 3 formula feeds a day, and is taking 200-220ml a feed. Every baby is different, and I think you need to work out what's best for you and your bub. It's hard at times, because there's always so much info about "what's best". Hang in there!
