Does anyone do this?!?! Reason I ask is because right now Mckenzie drinks 3oz every 3 hours or so. She still seems like she is STARVING after like 1 1/2-2
hours!!! I have tried to offer more formula, but she spits up.
Do you think it is wise to put just a drop of cereal in her bottle to hopefully stick to her ribs and make her full for a longer period of time?!?! There is
always controversy about this. I did it with our foster baby, but she was older when I did it.

I did research on it too when Sammy was a baby because he had reflux. I personally do not like the idea of it - especially at this young age.
Max is a hungry boy too! Dr. told me at this age to feed on demand, even with formula fed babies. So, I would just continue to feed her when she is hungry - that is what I am doing.

I won't do it either, right now. I think her tummy is still immature, but I know someone mentioned it and I thought I would ask. She is doing a little
better now. Still drinking 3 oz every 3-4 hours. I might up that to 4 oz if she acts starving after the 3 oz.
I'm such a virgin at this mommy thing! I'm so glad that I have you guys!!

I'm a little late, but I agree w/ everyone else. No cereal until at least 4m. I'd also up her feedings.

Thanks everyone!
I basically feed on demand. She eats every 3-4 hours during the day. More often in the evening, more like every 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Then she is up once during the night to eat. She is eating 3 1/2 to 4 oz at a time.
