[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD was born at 5lbs and for the first 6 months we had to monitor every single ounce that went into her. I pumped and our wonderful nanny was right with me with our schedule. Yes, we had to get every ounce that is in the bottle into DD take sure she was gaining weight and healthy. Sometimes she acted as if she didn't want it, but with persistence, she began to suck again. This is not "force feeding". If the milk or formula is in a bottle and baby is drinking it herself, this is just making sure she is getting what is required. Force feeding would be hold a baby's mouth open and pouring it down her throat! That would be abuse! Keeping a schedule and being persistent during feeding times, making sure each ouce is taken is defintiely reared in some situations. Luckely today, because of that persistence, DD is a healthy thriving baby girl and is up to 50th percentile for height and weight.[/quote]

I'm 11:19 and this is what I was trying to say - and clearly can be true for babies being fed formula or breast milk![/quote]
