    I'm really struggling with the idea of giving DD solids.

    She was 34 weeks and is now just over 4 1/2 months (3mo 6 days, corrected)
    She's been hungry for a while now. She gets frustrated at her bottle because its not satisfying her.
    She finishes her bottle and is still hungry, give her 10ml more and she'll vomit!
    I'm so frustrated.
    I don't know what to do.
    As some of you may know DD had a rough start to life being born with IUGR and all of her small and part of her large intestine outside her body (Gastroschisis).
    She had her bowels put back in a few hours after birth and started feeds at 9 days old.
    We're seeing the surgeon on the 11th of May to talk about solids.
    But she's hungry now!! Afternoons are horrible because she's hungry but can't drink anymore.

    What do I do? Please help. Sorry to hijack the thread.
    Do I just struggle for a few more weeks til we see the surgeon or do I ring him and talk to him now?
