Baby rice

Well last night, I tried the baby rice and megan actually seems more satisfied.

She went to sleep at 8pm and woke up at 11.45 for a feed, then she went to sleep until 7.50, was so suprised.
Havent given it to her to stop her waking up in the night as i dont mind that, but she is constantly hungry.
She is having upto 9 bottles a day, the baby rice seems to have cut out 3, she seems happy enough, im still a bit wary about it though.

Hey!

Well that was a good result then - sounds like the rice worked. What weight is Megan then at the moment? If you HV has recommended br then you should be okay, just keep it as rice for the timeebeing. We weaned Emily at 17 weeks coz she was not putting on weight....

Hi

She is 13lb 7oz but there has been a dramatic drop in weight gain in the last 2 weeks.
In her red book the last weight recorded was 13oz but i had got her weighed 2 days after that and she was then 13lb 3oz so in 14 days she only put on 4oz.

I am only going to give her only rice up until 16-17 weeks at least.

Weight

Did you say Megan was 10 weeks old! Emily is a little weany person then, got her weighed at 26 weeks and she was 13lb 13oz. We have struggled with her weight from birth really but she is a happy little baby so I am not worried - she will just be petite.

Baby rice should be fine for a while and it is mixed with milk anyway and if it gives you more sleep then even better!!
