***WHEN CAN I GIVE MY BABY A COOKIE OR A CRACKER???***
My hunnybunny is greedy..she likes to eat...& she hates "binkies"...
She's been over-eating & spitting up...
Any suggestions about stuff I could give her to satisfy her "munchies"...besides bottles?
She's freshly 3 months old.

She gets so grumpy...&...I hate to keep over-feeding her until she throws up!...
I just needed an idea or 3...LOL...I asked my grandma and apparently they did things differently in the Mesozoic Age!
...lmfao...she thinks babies drink water!...uuy...my poor Mom...

How'd you "adjust" the formula?
I give her servings of 4oz. per bottle. If she's still hungry, I'll serve her another 4oz. bottle; of which she drinks an oz. or maybe 2oz. (If we have the luxury of breast milk..I don't waste it..LOL..that stuff is like gold!)
...I expect her to eat no more than 6oz. per feeding, taking into account the fact that she's growing. However, lately...she's been fighting to drink the 2nd bottle til its empty...I think its because her mom has her "nipple-whipped"..lmao..
Whenever she pouts, or whimpers or cries a little...her mom pulls out the tit...like a glock 17...hahaa...and this...is why my baby is greedy!...I think...because she tries to fall asleep with the bottle nipple in her mouth. I try to switch it to a "binky" when she's dozing off...but...nope!...she'll wake up and drink more...lmfao!

I spend every day with my daughter and have done so, since she was 1 month 10 days...before that...I'd split time with the mom..and 6 of 7 days...I'd be in company with the baby. I realize how important bonding time is. It's given me a chance to know the difference between her cries...and when she's BS'ing...LOL
The 4 major cries are:
1. Hungry = frantic, upset, flustered red-faced cry...85% chance of tears...100% chance of tears if she's off of her feeding schedule. (usually if she takes a long nap)
2. Sleepy = agitated, fussy cry that turns to elongated groans...the sleepier she gets!
3. Wet or CACA Diaper = uncomfortable cry, that progressively gets louder if there is no quick response...she hates dirty diapers..and only potties in fresh diapers..this sometimes sounds like hunger..if I'm in another room...but, there are no tears..unless..it takes me a while to comply with her calls.
4. Bullshit cries = whines and whimpers..yells and screams...those cries are for things like being picked up or wanting to be greedy or worst of all...my baby gets angry if you don't do what she wants...LOL...so, something as simple as a diaper change in public, can go bad very quickly!
Lastly...there's the only cry that freaks me out...
When she's scared or hurts herself...omg...this one kills me...its an abrupt cry...from 0 to 10 volume, instantly....and its as if she's seen the devil!...she scratched herself the other day and...I couldn't figure out what was wrong...omfg...I almost had a stroke!...I figured it out when I saw the blood...lol
...so, the subtle nuances of being a dad or just fathering a child...are the dichotomy of my resolve, as a parent. I notice every bump on her face or knot in her hair...her eating habits or any change in them..I notice how she smells, how she likes the temperatures of her milk..or bath water..what makes her poo runny..LOL...shit, I even pay attention to what my BM eats...cus, sometimes her breastmilk gives the baby the runs...if she's had formula all day.
...lol...I'm on it
@proudmama
..hmm...simple answer...LOL...works for me...
...however, I do think its gross as HELL...when she spits up...and re-eats it!...hahaa
@MommyLovesSparkle
...show me where that info about water for infants is..she's 3 months next week...I'm afraid to give it to her.
Thanks mommies!

Yeah...I figured she'd be eating more than 4oz. it just varies..and I worry when she eats more than 6oz.
Her doctor said don't worry...but, fuck that...LOL...that doctor just met my baby once.. : D
And don't put too much pressure on your BD...lol...I'm old...divorced and just really happy to be a dad..I felt like this was my last go...so, I pay close attention to my lil'hunnybunny...and when her brother is born...I should be even smoother!
I can try it now, @ 3 months?
...a heaping tsp or leveled off?
...and..
"tit-whipped"...lol...funny, but not funny...hahaa...it makes for long days!...I can tell already that her mom is gonna let her get away with homicide!
Thanks for the tip...

My "hunnybunny" is apparently spoiled...she has the audacity to "fuss" if, there's a slow stream of breast milk from her moms boob!...and she'll trash talk me if I'm taking too long to feed her!
I'll toy around with the amounts that I feed her..I just worry when she forces herself to eat 8oz. then...spits up 2oz. of what she's eaten...lol...guess I'm a bit over-protective.
Anyways, Mama_Kat...
...be on the lookout for my next baby..he's due in 8 weeks or so...

...so, about 4 months is the consensus on feeding solid food?...
I made her mom oatmeal with fruit & honey.. this morning & I touched a drop of honey on my babys tongue...she salivated so much!...she sucked her tongue like crazy!..
I know baby food is gonna be a mess!
