i really dont know what to do any more as elise is demanding alot of attention she is 6 weeks old and gaing weight very fast because she wont stop feeding i go through about 15 bottles a day and the formula will only last a couple of days which is leaving my pockets very dry i've tried giving her water in between her bottles but half an hour later she will still cry until she gets one the kast resort is changing her milk but i only changed it a week an half ago any one got any ideas

maybe try making bigger bottles. maybe 1 more oz of milk.
also try some cooled boiled water. she might just be thirsty as it is gettin pretty warm

good luck

i give her the cooled boiled water inbetween all of her bottles still no luck and i try up her feeds but she will stop at 6 oz then an hour or two later have another 5/6oz i just really dont no what to do any more

i dont know what to suggest other than maybe not give her a bottle for an extra half hour so she might have more. try takin her for a walk or playin wih her. or maybe a bath if she likes them. obviously not helpful at night but possibly worth a try in the day

Maybe you could try another hungry milk or maybe she needs early weaning? I know a couple of people who had there babies on solids at 8wks but under supivision of hv.x

My son was the same way, he was a big baby from birth and i put him on solids at 7 weeks he was taking up to 12 9oz bottles a day and was still hungry, i found that by giving him a small amount of baby rice at breakfast lunch and dinner, cut down on the bottles and he selpt better at nights,
I know now a days this is thought as a bad thing, but my mum done it with me her mum with her and so on, its only been in the last few years that they have started to say weight till the baby is 4 months, i also believe that bigger babys are ready sooner than smaller babies, my daughter was 11 weeks when she started and the one on the way will start when its ready not when someone else thinks it should be ready.

totally agree this is why ive started weaning mine at 13 weeks. every2 hours i was giving her 8oz feeds and she was never happy, in comparison to a couple to a month earlier when she was satisfied. your health visitor will probably tell you its too early, but as ive said in another thread if your instincts are telling you to give her a bit of rice with a feed, then do it. Just introduce it slowly for her system to process it properly as her system is still so young. with mine i give her 4oz of milk followed by the rice at lunchtime and she is lovely and full and usually has a wonderful little nap after so shes all smiley again like she used to be! good luck whatever you decide
