Do babies follow the same feeding routines? My two babies had a similar pattern except my son at four months old had one less feed a day than my daughter had at the same age, but still gained weight and slept through the night.

The last article I wrote was about the routines I adopted when feeding our first born child. Since having Caleb I decided I would write an article outlining the routines that I found worked best for him.
Caleb was born 6 weeks prematurely so our main aim was not to get him into a routine but for him to gain weight. As with Amélie I have bottle fed him and used the same formula SMA for new borns.
How often do you feed your newborn baby? How much do you feed them? Should you feed on demand or have a routine? After extensive research and chatting with a few friends I opted for a routine and our baby has slept through the night from birth.

Before Amélie was born I was really concerned about whether I would be feeding our baby too much or too little, how often to feed and how I would be able to set up any sort of routine.
It was only an hour and a half after Amélie was born that I was asked whether I was going to bottle feed or breast feed. I had decided that I wanted to bottle feed. I was then faced with the dilemma of which brand of formula do I use. I opted for SMA, not for any particular reason just the fact that it was well known and I had to make a decision there and then.
