is what I am feeding her...she is probably over 6 lbs now, but lately she
was eating it all at one time, then around 4-5 pm she is hungry, so I started
feeding her 1/4 cup at 6:00 (thats when we get up) then at 11:00 am, then the last 1/4 cup around 4:00 pm....she acts like she's still hungry after she
eats at 4:00, I don't want to overfeed her. she wakes up alot in wee hours
of morning and throws up yellow bile, so that seems to me to be an empty
stomach....she goes into her crate around 6:00 pm, cause that when I go
to the bedroom to watch my TV, and she doesn't have free roam of the
house, so her crate is right next to me. She sleeps till about 1:00 am, I wake up and take to her potty pad where she pees, then we lay down on
the couch till 6:00, for some reason she won't go back to sleep in her crate, but she will on top of me...
I'm not sure how much to feed her and when to feed her now, don't want her throwing up from an empty stomach. Should I start feeding her
2x a day instead, so she'll get more in afternoon feeding...? |
If i understand right - the last time she eats is at 4pm? And then nothing till 6am?
I can understand why she's hungry. I wouldn't start feeding her 2x a day, i would stick to 3x. But i think you should change the hours.
I'm feeding my Jackie like this:
- 20 grams around 7 am
- 20 grams around 2 pm
- 20 grams around 9.30 pm
During the day she gets a few treats so she doesn't get seriously hungry.
As you can see i always wait around 7 hours between meals. If you don't want your baby to get hungry i think you should try that too.
