Kate, Pup is on only 1 feed a day atm but I reckon this will increase in the next week or so. MCHN told me the other day that most nutrition up to 12 months should come from milk, so if the bubs are starting to knock back the milk, then reduce the amount of solids they are getting to make sure that they keep their milk up. But on the same token, she told me that Pup should be quickly moving to have up to 4 tablespoons of food a day, so it is a little confusing! I gather that they should try and keep their milk intake the same (ie don't drop a bottle before 12 months) and gradually increase their food intake. So in the end, they eat more 'food' in total.
Now in saying this, I am breastfeeding totally (no supplementary bottles or formula) so I'm not sure if the advice is the same for bottle fed bubs. Sometimes feeding advice is different depending on bottle or boob fed. Maybe someone else can comment???
As for pg testing without AF.....well, I'm not, so I don't know how I would know if I were up the duff. Someone suggested that I test once a month to just see. Maybe that's the only way???? anyone else got any suggestions?????
Bel, I just looked at your website and Coby certainly does not have goggle eyes!! I don't know what that girl was talking about. At various times, babies look a little out of proportion as they grow....some of Pup's photos certainly don't do him justice when I look back on them. Now Marty Feldman.....HE has goggle eyes (do a google search on the name if you are usnsure who he is...you'll know as soon as you see him!!)
Pup is a bit smallish for his age as well. he is under all the averages...but they catch up. At 6 months he is 6.9kg. Can't remember his cms (can find out if you like).
Deb, glad to hear you're having a great time back hom in Aust!!!
