My baby is almost 4 months and never seems satisfied, she eats 6-8 oz every 3-4 hours is this normal?

Even still she doesn't seem satisfied, I have started her on oatmeal too and she still wants the bottle every 3-4 hrs and will eat 6-8oz no matter what. She also spits up alot, not projectile, but she seems like she's starving, and rarely to never has gas. What do I do?

It sounds normal to me... but if you're concerned, call your daughter's doctor. I breastfed my 2 daughters and believe that around 4 months they were nursing 8 times per day. I didn't start them on solids until they were 6 months old.Babycenter.com is an excellent resource for baby information.

Here's what they say: Age: 4 to 6 months Signs of readiness for solid food Your baby probably won't do all these things — they're just clues to watch for. • Can hold head up • Sits well in highchair • Makes chewing motions • Shows significant weight gain (birth weight has doubled) • Shows interest in food • Can close mouth around a spoon • Can move food from front to back of mouth • Can move tongue back and forth, but is losing tendency to push food out with tongue • Seems hungry after 8 to 10 feedings of breast milk or 40 oz. Of formula in a day • Is teething What to feed • Breast milk or formula, PLUS • Semi-liquid iron-fortified rice cereal, THEN • Other grain cereals like oats or barley How much per day • Begin with about 1 teaspoon dry rice cereal mixed with 4 to 5 teaspoons breast milk or formula (it'll be very runny).

• Gradually thicken consistency and increase to 1 tablespoon dry cereal mixed with breast milk or formula, twice a day. Feeding tips • If your baby won't eat the cereal on the first try, offer it again in a few days. • Get more detailed tips on how to introduce solids.

The chart says that you can start solids if your baby is still hungry after 40 oz. Of formula in one day. If your daughter is drinking 8 oz.

Every 4 hours that would be 48 oz. In a day.It sounds like you are doing the right thing by starting some solid foods and giving her formula as she wants it. Many babies spit up after feeding.

This could be an issue if she's not gaining weight or if she seems very irritable after feedings. Other reasons why you may want to call the doctor. It's my belief that all babies are different and are going to have different eating habits and nutritional needs.

At this age, I know that babies have lots of doctor's appointments, so if you feel it's unnecessary to call the doctor, bring up your concerns at your daughter's next appointment. I hope all goes well!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
