understand ur concern.

my baby's formula is about to finish, and i was thinking either to buy a new one or not.
his formula is not cheap, so i dont wanna waste.

she has enough milk? maybe. but i pity her, it can be sore and painful.

and with breast milk the frequency of feeding is higher.

usually the baby will take breastfeeding milk daytime, and night time, especially before sleep will take formula as that is more filling and usually get more milk.
so will sleep until morning/ or only need to wake up once for feeding (formula) and then continue sleeping.

right now he drinks more breast milk, and even at night drink breast milk, so the wife need to wake up every few hours.

we are using quite an expensive formula, so im worried if i buy a new pack, it will go to waste.

i see that enfalac step 1 is from 1 month to 12 months
step to is 6 months to 12 months
step 3 is 12 months to 3 years old.

so should i just use step 1 and then skip step 2 and straight to step 3?
is that OK?

just bought the formula yesterday.
hope it wont go to waste.

my wife tried pumping some milk and then bottle fed the breast milk.
my baby didnt like it as well.

i guess its the bottle.

using philips avent, still the 0 months teat ( 1 hole )
when change to 1 months teat (with 2 holes) he doesnt like it. keep refusing it.

now at 3 months still giving the 1 hole teat, tried occasionally the 2 holes teat but he doesnt like it.

thanks, wud keep that in mind

guys, my baby is around 4.5 months old.
starting around 3.5 months till now, my baby has started to drink bit by bit.

usually he would take 3 to 4 oz per feeding.

now its like, 0.5 to 1oz per feeding, and always squirming around when we feed him.

he will cry like normal when hungry, then when we feed him, he will drink for a few seconds before crying and squirming again for a few seconds, then back to drinking normally.

i dont think its the formula, or the bottle, because he reacts more or less the same with breastfeeding.
but breastfeeding more success, less crying and squirming.

tried to put breast milk in bottle, same effect of crying and squirming.

what could be the problem?
issit just a phase he is going thru?

we always put minyak kayu putih.
sometimes give him Gripe Water.


if sakit perut/bloated, should be everyday for the past 1 month?

oh yeah, massage also we did.
everyday also.

this is not the problem.
anyway, for bloated and wind, we will use woodwards gripe water, bicycle legs, massage etc. so i dont think thats the problem.

my problem is this :

thanks, will give it a try.

i thought so too. but never had a problem before.
since newborn have been having both teat and tits.


anyway, any recommended teat?

yes as baby grows, the intervals between feeding should be longer as their stomach can hold more.

this is the majority.

but sometimes we do have babies that still need constant feeding.



my boy, now 6 months have been drinking milk at good intervals, last time was around 4 to 5oz per feeding, and its like each oz will last for one hour.
so 4 oz means 4 hours.
night time usually only wake up once and then sleep back.

but around 4 months he started to drink more breastmilk, and more frequent. every 2 to 3 hours.
its also more to comfort sucking.
night time still same, wake up once only.

now at 6 months, feedings are more frequent, even at night until morning.
mummy cant sleep much.
i think this is due to teething.
teething symptoms. more frequeent sucking, wake up more frequent at night, biting into everything etc.

congrats!

you must feel lighter and easier now.

at least lighter by 12K!
