Formula fed babies
Has anyone used a formula thickener?
My lo is taking 5oz and is 3 weeks on Monday, he feeds for about an hour and finishes or only leaves a tiny bit but then within an hour or even less his unsettling biting and sucking his hands for more milk. This seems a bit much for how small he is and how much his drinking and I don’t remember my first being like this he was every 3 hours so was wondering if the thickeners are any good?

My health visitor told me to stick to 4oz for my 5week old because I was giving 5oz as he was routing for it but kept being sick. If baby isn’t being sick and can handle the 5oz stick to it! I tried to use thickener for reflux but found it made his sick really thick and struggled to bring it up x
Do you think he’s using it as a soother instead of hunger? X
@Alex don’t think so as he gets upset as well

Hi, I’ve not used a thickener but with my first daughter she was wanting more liquid then her stomach could handle so we got her hungry baby formula, it was aptamil.
