yet another question

[mattnjeana]

oh boy here I go again....lol just a nervous new mommy I think but would rather ask than make any mistakes ....Have Roo on the Fv full strength now 2 parts water to one part FV and she is not seeming as intrested in eating seem to have to push her to do so.... she is taking about 4 cc a little less than before ....I think I am maybe trying too soon? Been feeding her about every 3 1/2 hours should I go longer now that shes on the FV ? need your help and thoughts on this please?

Just to recap shes about 3 weeks old

Yep, she can go 4.5 hrs between feedings at that age. On Fox Valley, even my neonates (2 days old) were fed every 3 - 3.5 hrs. (Not every 2, as you must do with Esbilac and other formulas.) By three weeks old they can easily go 4+.

your girl is 4+ weeks now?
You can probably sleep a whole 6-8 hours if she's warm and fed by 11
She's at that point where she can tell you she's full. Belly is full and life is good. What may probably end up happening is she will eat a lot in the am and slack off as the day goes on. At least that's what mine are up to. I have to push them a bit at night to finish of because they going to have to wait until 7.
If her tummy isn't filling nicely and she seems thin, lethargic, and disinterested. THEN is your time to worry.
Mine don't eat by the numbers and they still pig out and get the gooey pooies ounce and awhile. I have to watch that better :shakehead
