I'm a new mother for the first time and my
baby was born a preemie and now she seems
to be off the chart as far as weight goes.
She's 2 1/2 mo. and crys almost every
hour and a half for another feeding. And
yes I can hear her little tummy growling.
I have been reading that I should not give
her cereal yet. Is there is a different
kind of formula that is more filling and
would stay with her longer?

I had the same problem with my little
girl! We put her on cereal because she was
drinking more than her tummy could hold so
she would spit up. Amelia would cry every
2 hours on the dot for a bottle!!! I
started puting a little cereal in her
bottle and it worked wonders. She even
started sleeping through the nights! It
wasnt until 2 months I told her doctor the
problem and she said I did a good thing
about giving her a little cereal in every
other bottle because babies tummies can
only haddle an average of 32 oz a day.
Some people wont agree with cereal. I
didnt want to do it either but we had no
choice. Theres not really a formula that
fullfills babies tummies. Atleast we didnt
find one.
I say talk to her ped. He/she may recomend
a little bt of cereal in every other
bottle.
