Macca - I'm a little surprised that someone would suggest that there is no need to BF these days... just seems weird. I mean, I didn't BF, had LOTS of problems, and had lots of conflicting advice, so I FF from an early age with DS. Still unsure what to do with this next one, but thought I would give it a go, and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. We fed DS every four hours, but that was enough for him, I think because formula fills them for longer because its not as easily digestable (someone please correct me if I am wrong.. ) as BM. So the every four hours worked there, except when he was going through a growth spurt, then every three hours was needed. I think just do whatever works for you and your baby. You will know what your baby needs, and what is best for him/her. And try not to stress out about the conflicting advice, because there will be LOTS of it!! Good luck :-)
