Rice milk for 8.5 mth old?

is he hungry or just waking? send in dh w/ a bottle of your milk- just maybe an ounce or two (don’t want to waste liquid gold!) and see what happens- does he suck it right down/ take a few sips & pass right back out (I’d tell dh to try to get him to sleep when giving the bottle- as in keeping the room dark, bouncing gently, saying shhhhh- whatever works…) Or maybe just try dh & a pacifier at first and see how that goes?

if he’s really hungry, then nurse him?

or try going in while he’s asleep at 11pm and nurse him then to ‘tank him up?’

Carson is MSPI and I do give him rice milk. I buy the enriched store bought brand. He isn’t gaining any weight, tho, so we mix Neocate WITH the rice milk. It makes the Neocate taste much better and it gives him a few more calories. When Carson was 12 months our doc suggested enriched rice milk – I suspect we would be on that alone if Carson would eat other foods and gain weight. I would think the rice milk would be ok if your child is getting enough calories with other foods/drink and if your child is getting enough vitamins/minerals from other places as our rice drink doesn;t have many. It is very hard to find things for babies to eat/drink when the are MSPI – or should I say that THEY will eat! Good luck! This MSPI stuff is the pits!!
