Formula

We started weaning Emily on to formula last night. I plan on doing it very slowly, replacing a breast feed with formula every 2-3 weeks.

Last night went well. She drank 120mls straight down. She did a couple of big burps, had a grizzle and went to sleep for 7 hours.

I think the reason she has been feeding 1.5-2 hrly at night is because I don't have enough milk for her. Emily had started waking 4-5 hrly overnight for feeds. She had been sleeping 7-8 hrs since about 7 weeks.

Emily is having a growth spurt at the moment. She is sleeping most of the day, only waking for feeds and to grizzle or cry.
