Mom of a 4 yr 9 m old boy4 years ago

Q.

Hi I am mother of a 5 year old boy. He is exclusively on formula feed. I give him 160 ml every 3 hours and if he is hungry before 3 hours, then on demand basis. He is taking one semi solid meal in a day and 5 feedings of formula. please advise if I am doing the right thing. I do not wait for him to be cranky and feed him every 3 hours and he takes that.

A. Thank you Jasmine. His poop is soft but not watery so I think it is fine, right?

A. Hello dear parent, if your baby is taking the feed properly without any trouble then do not worry. He is fine. Just keep a check on baby's poop as well. That will indicate if baby's stomach is getting upset. Good luck and take care
