Is there a such thing as consuming too much BM?

I always read how FF babies go on cereal because they are drinking too much, is it the same with BM?

I swear BM makes up 95% of Josh's diet. He nibbles on food and that's it.

Today:
2 bites of scrambled eggs
1/2 raspberry
1 chunk of cantelope
few bites of a sweet potato
3 bites of meatloaf
and cheerios.

seriously, if mashed up, it would equal a stage 2 size baby food jar.

He drinks ALL THE TIME though.

dunno really, i'd ask his ped.. do you know how many oz. he gets? how old is he? at least you know he's getting good stuff!

I've never heard the same concern with breastmilk. I think its because formula is iron fortified.

thanks...hopefully he is eating more by his next appt.

I was always told that formula nad BM were supposed to be their main source of nutrition for the first year

Re: Is there a such thing as consuming too much BM?

I wouldn't worry. It's the iron in the formula that can be bad for FF babies. Unless you're snacking on iron pills all day, I'd say it's fine

Formula or BM is supposed to be their main source of food. Feeding them baby food and table food is mainly to get them used to eating and learn how to move things around in their mouth. i wouldn't worry about it too much.
