Woo hoo! Tommy slept through the night last night, without the formula top up. I'm glad I waited it out as if I gave him the formula I would've attributed it to that. Anyway here's hoping it becomes a regular thing and not just a one-off. \/
bieleemorris - not that I formula feed but my ECHN told me to work out the amount to give by bodyweight and not by the can. She told me it was 150ml per kilo of body weight per day. Then divide that by the amount of feeds per day. So if your baby was 6kg, it would be 6x150 which is 900mls a day, divided by the number of feeds. Say it were 5 feeds it would be 900 divided by 5=180mls. This might help explain why she doesn't want to take the full amount as advised on the tin???
