Age:

Oz/bottle & bottles/day:

Qs/concerns/rants/raves:

NBR GTKY: what are your go-to movies to watch when you're sick?

[dacora]

Age: 3 months 3 weeks-ish

Oz/bottle & bottles/day: 5oz 4x, 6oz 2x (before bed and first thing in the morning)

Qs/concerns/rants/raves: DD is still going generally 3 hours between bottles, though I've seen other ladies mention their LO's going 4 hours. Today she had a long morning nap and we distracted her for another half hour to make another gap longer, so she'll actually have one less bottle today than her normal six. I'm starting to wonder if I should make all her bottles 6oz and try to stretch out the time between bottles so she only has 5.

NBR GTKY: what are your go-to movies to watch when you're sick? Moulin Rouge, V for Vendetta, Watchmen

Age- 4 mths tomorrow

bottles- 6 4.5oz and 1 5 oz before bed

comments etc- I feel like we've been at 4.5oz forever.... so ready to go up a bit and drop a bottle. However, with the amount of spit up we get, I don't see that happening anytime soon. FWIW- My boys usually go 2.5-3 hrs bt bottles. They rarely go over 3. If that 3 hr mark happens during a nap, they pretty much always wake up even if they've only been asleep for 20 min. I have watch my times and make sure their bellies are fairly full before naps.

Does anyone need similac checks? If so, pm me your address.

QOTW- Anchor Man, How to Lose a Guy, there's others but my brain is fried right now

Age: 15w and 5days

Bottles: 6 4.5oz bottles and 1 6oz bottle before bed

Comments: I tried to increase his morning bottle to 6oz and see if that would help him last longer but it only made him spit up more throughout the entire rest of the day. Not sure if he had an off day or what. He likes his bottle evey couple of hours. Whatever works I guess.

QOTW: hands down - Sex and the City (only the first movie, the second is horrid)

Age: 19 weeks
Bottles/oz/day: 5 oz 6x a day
Comments: I bumped him up to 5 oz this week because he was handily downing 4.5 ounces and looking for more. I thought he'd start spacing out bottles more but he's been ravenous all week. I guess when you go from 17.5 inches to 25 inches in 19 weeks you need that formula!

QOTW: hmmm, I'm a sucker for chick flicks like my big fat Greek wedding, father of the bride, clueless, etc

Clueless is a classic

Age: 4 months

Oz/bottle & bottles/day: 5ozers/ ? times a day

Qs/concerns/rants/raves: I just upped her formula from 4oz bc she's been at that forever and recently started wanting to eat every couple hours. I was hoping she would drop a bottle but yesterday (the first full day of 5oz bottles) she went the same number of bottles. Do you think she needs more time to "regulate" or is going through a growth spurt?

NBR GTKY: Harry Potters or Disney movies that I watched as a kid.

Age: 18w

Oz/bottle & bottles/day: Sometimes 4, sometimes 5 oz, 6 bottles/day. The odd time a 7th part bottle to top her up before bed if it's been an hour or more since her last one.

Qs/concerns/rants/raves: I think I mentioned this last week but B's hunger levels seem to have dropped off a bit. Sometimes she drinks only 3.5- 4oz before she starts playing with the nipple. I take it away and she doesn't act hungry. I don't know if she really isn't or if the nipple is too slow for her so she loses interest? I can't say she's really frustrated, just bored. We are still using slow flow, I am afraid to bump her up unless she really needs it because of spit up issues.

GTKY: Usually whatever kind of chick flick I can find on the satellite. I swear they play Maid in Manhattan every sick day I have.

dreemkin the week before 4 months B pounded through formula. No joke one day she ate almost 40oz and didn't spit up a drop. I was panicking that I wouldn't be able to afford to feed her! A day or two later she went back to normal, and now she takes around 26-28oz/day. Her growth spurt lasted about 4 or 5 days.

dacora B demands to be fed every three hours still during the day. You can set your watch by her.
