I was just wondering if anybody else has had any issues with their baby not getting filled up? Our daughter, Libby, seems like she can never get filled up. She wants to eat all the time, but I think feeding her often makes things worse for her. Does thickening the feedings with rice cereal help at all?

Thanks!

Kaelyn was like that. She wanted to eat constantly and would get really frustrated and angry if we didn’t feed her. We thickened with 1 tbsp per ounce and it helped with her spitting issues. We fed her 2 to 3 ounces of thickened formula every 2 hours and it seemed to help with her reflux.

My daughter was a comfort eater and eating was the ONLY time she felt better. It was a constant struggle to keep her happy before she was properly medicated. She got to be quite chubby before we got her reflux under control…she was eating ALL THE TIME!

So it could be that she’s needing the calories (in which case thickening feeds might help) or she might be a comfort eater and the formula soothes her reflux?!?!?! Is she being treated for reflux at all?
