I am new to this web-site. I have a question, we just started our 4 month old daughter on Alimentrum. Since starting she acts like she is always hungrey. Before Alimentum she was taking about 24 ounces, now on the Alimentum she is taking 36 plus! Is this normal? We have been on this new formula for 2.5 days.
It could be a few things…I believe 2, 4 and 6 months old are prime times for growth spurts. They usually eat a lot more and sometimes sleep longer for a few days during the spurt. It’s probably too soon for her to be feeling better from the formula but that’s always a possibility too!
Many kids protest the disgusting taste of alimentum (my daughter did at first!) so it’s great she is eating so much!
Amy has all good points! The only other was that I would add is that the formula is much thinner than some of the others so then they empty their tummy faster and could want to eat more.
I agree with Amy, though. This is a great thing!!!
