Just a rant, really.
Why are hospitals so intent on top up feeds and forever telling you your child needs it and then getting offended when you refuse? Urgh.
Ds4 is doing amazingly well with feeds, he's gaining a steady but slow weight, he feeds roughly 1.5 hours for a good 20 mins and surprisingly has no reflux issues whatsoever yet last week and today they mentioned introducing top up feeds to increase his weight and give him more nutrients.
I outright refused for a number of reasons; 1) I've heard that formula is harder on a baby's stomach and harder to digest, 2) he has no reflux issues and I don't want to tempt fate by introducing something un-needed, 3) I believe he doesn't need it.
Anyone else refused or gone against the advice of the care team? I'm just sick of hearing that formula is the answer to his weight problem. O feel like banging my head against the wall.
