Pepti questions

Hi foxxy_one, we were on Pepti for a while and found that our boy drunk more when we changed. We just gave him another scoop and if need be another one after that. We found after a couple of weeks that he settled into a pattern but it wasn't always what the tin said. I figured that he wouldn't drink it if he didn't want it! He also spills a bit, even on the Neocate, but it stopped him from spilling after feeds. He was bringing stuff up 2-3 hours later which he doesn't do anymore.
We also noticed the bottles were a bit harder to wash, it seems to but a 'slimmy' coating on the bottle so we had to hot soapy wash them.
Hope some of that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions I will try and help.

Hi, we saw Philip Morrison in Columbo St. He was very nice. I do know Rodger Ford is very good, my husband saw him when he was a kid and is going back this week. I work on the theory (which is just mine) that they kind opf know how much they need. When breastfeeding you can't tell so they could be having more. And its hard to tell when they are going through small growth spurts so may just need it. Our boy will do 180mls one feed then 240mls the next. If he needs more he'll cry when the bottle is finished and won't stop till he gets it. I just use the tin as a really ruff guide and then do what he wants.
If you do ask your dr, please let me know what they say, I'd be interested to know their view.
Oh, and my sister's boy was taking 240mls at 3mths and still screaming for more! They told her she would probably have to start solids early and he ended up taking the 240mls and solids, he's now 7mths and 11kg!

NO, he was on the formula for hungry babies, but it didn't seem to help with the hunger!
We have our next jabs also next week so I may ask my dr and see what she says. It would be interesting to hear if they say the same thing.

he already eats every 2-3 hours:) so I'll just stay on 150 till the docs i think:) thanks everyone:)

LOL Aimee, I just posted the same thing on the other thread - we used to soak our bottles once a week in baking soda and warm water to remove the film.

And as for how much Ethan feeds, I say just give him as much as he wants. Babies won't overfeed, if they take too much they spill up what they can't digest.

emma- some people tell me he can overfed others tell me he cant...?thankyou Aimee:) he's coming up 14pd so he's not lacking in weight hehe(started off 7 pd 3 and hes just about 3 months)

Yep, we had problems getting the last order of Pepti - apparently there were supply issues. Starship and North Shore Hospital were out - there were no tins on the North Shore - they ended up shipping them in a tin at a time from another pharmacy. The order has come through now though.

lol awesome thanks:)
