Subject : How much milk at 10 weeks?
Hi all,
Slight problems with my LO i really need advice on what is normal and what other peoples 10 week old babies are drinking?
My lo has a suspected polyp (growth on bowl) so things are a bit difficult at the minute, he is screaming constantly when he is awake because of colic and I think hunger, but if I give him an extra ounce of milk he bloats like a balloon and we have tried everything and have no luck at getting anything but the tinyiest burp out of him.
When he gets colicky he screams harder and when he bloats he screams even harder, and we have found that he only bleeds from his bowl when he has the extra ounce. And he wakes up every 15 mins through the night if I give him the extra ounce.
But as he say he seems hungry all the time and is screaming all day long I need a break!
He is currently taking 4 oz 5-6 times a day and screams when his bottle is gone, do I give him as much as he wants and probably needs or hold off, at the minute it seems he is going to scream all day long anyway but if I only give him the 4 oz he sleeps through the night!
Ahh please help
