What causes formula milk craving in babies?
Patient: my baby is 15 weeks old and eats cow and gate formula milk. for the last month he has been eating 8oz bottles which he finishs all of every fed. in the last to weeks i have started giving him stage 2 milk for hungrier babies but he is still eating the same amount. he is now at the point where he eats every 2 to 3 hours and is having a least seven bottles a day or more. he still seems to want more food. what do i do? Doctor: Hi,Do not upgrade formula milk just because baby is demanding more. If she is tolerating well then no need to get worried. Until you feel a rapid increase in weight gain, which is not in healthy limits.Secondly, correct your delution. Sometimes the mother make too much diluted formulas that causes poor satisfaction of baby's hunger. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Hina Javed
