@hmpjcp20143 It is hard to say. formula and breastmilk are 2 different doses. Breastmilk is 1 to 1.25 ounce per hour so 24 ounces if you were exclusively breastfeeding. Formula they nees twice as much to get the nutrients needed so it is different. Not sure. the child would benefit from less milk more often most likely. They dont need 4 oz at a time

@beemommyof3 how much should he be drinking a day for oz. And yeah I always do he's not really gassy now that I changed to half and half just now he don't poop hardly at all to I don't know if he is having s problem there but at 4 he was pretty loose so should I not worry about that

Maybe you should cut back so that he can keep it down. do you do bicycle legs and tummy massages?

@beemommyof3 sences 4 this morning he only has ate 12 -16 oz all day. But I usually make a 4 oz bottle all the time.

How much are you feeding him?

@beemommyof3 my doctor told me to try it because he was so gassy and he wouldn't keep any of it down so he told me to do half and half. And he does keep more down now but now he hardly poops and idk if that is normal or if it should be giving him something for it.

If it is dairy formula it cause gas in babies.

So you think formula will make him less gassy. NO. breastmilk is a natural diuretic so they cant be constipated but once you introduce formula it can cause problems

@beemommyof3 he us to be all breast milk but I had to go to half and half because he has been so gassy that I have been trying half and half. But he has been so fussy today:(

Is he breast or formula fed

@beemommyof3 I don't know if it's his teeth that are coming in that's why I can't get him to stop crying or if it's because he hasn't been pooping hardly he had a poopy diaper at 430 this morning but nothing yesterday and nothing more today. Anything I can do for that or should I ask them that to.

Yes call on call nurse if necessary

Nothing.

@lizibear84 sences the clinic is close do you think I can call the hospital and ask a on nurse.

Ask your pediatrician
