Dummy? That settled ours xx

yea tried this… she just spits it out- don’t really know what to do.. can’t just keep feeding her xx

Am in the same boot I’ve had to put my daughters feed upto 5oz but even that isn’t filling her she’s wanting bottle after bottle like that’s the only thing she knows and she screams and shakes until she gets it surely that’s not normal and I don’t want to over feed her either and she hates the dummy she spits it out xx

I don't think you will overfeed in my opinion. My 3 week old clears 5oz bottles and has from 2 weeks old. He likes his milk 🍼 x

I have just had the health visitor out and I’ve asked about the feeding aswell she’s basically told me it won’t be that there hungry it’ll be maybe they still have wind and they can’t get it up sit for like half an hour winding her and if she’s still unsettled walk about with her let her look out the window etc she also said don’t give her more than 1 bottle every 3-4 hours you need to just bare with it that’s what my health visitor told me today xxx

I think you need to go with how you feel. Health visitors can say different things...mine would say feed baby on demand. For eg if they're going through a growth spurt then they may feed more often than usual, but then it would settle back down. Of course if baby is looking or sounding in pain, pulling legs up etc, then try winding first. Mum knows baby best!
