[quote=Anonymous]I am OP. I agree that a child by 4 months should be eating every 4 hours. The schedule is just fine. We got past that but now my charge has double ear infections. He's having difficulty eating because the sucking hurts. The pediatrician told MB to cut the feedings in half ( 3-4 every 2 hours) until it clears a little because he is in so much pain. MB agreed with the doctor but absolutely refused once we were home. Age literally made me force feed him 7oz. I literally wanted to break into tears. MBs reasoning is that she doesn't want my charge to get used to eating every 2hrs so we are going off his schedule. Last night she put him to bed at 8 ( last feed at 7:30) with only 4.5oz to eat. He woke up crying but she didnt want to feed him during the night bcuz he will " become dependent on it". So he had to wait until 7:30am to eat.

I'm all for keeping a schedule ( I love them!) but I can't see her logic. Schedules can't always be followed wheh they are sick. I am at my breaking point and about to quit over this. I can't sit through another feeding with him crying in that much pain and MB refusing to compromise. I suggested 3 hours between feeds got the next few days but she said no. He eats 7:30, 11:30, 3:30 and 7:30. She refuses to go off of it, regardless for the reason. [/quote]
