So i haven't posted in a while but all has been well. We went to the developmental clinic two weeks ago and all was well except they said that they did not want him standing up yet!! i was surprised that this would be a problem since they said that he was functioning at a 7-8month level don't 7-8 month olds stand and bounce on your lap when u hold them? but what can i say if this was all they found wrong in a child that they did not expect to even survive then i have no problems. Well last month the nutritionist was not that much impressed with his weight gain since he only averaged 3grams a day thru the month when he usually averages 21grams a month so his formula was increased from 24cal to 27cal. But i found out that my boy does not really like the bottle but enjoys being spoon fed and loves water, so i had to device a plan for him to get all his calories and get enough fluids in him at the same time. So heres what i had bee trying and so far its been working cus he has gained 2lbs in the month. I mix two scoops of his formula in what ever food am feeding him by spoon and give him two to three ounces of water each time he eats am able to do this 3 to 4 times a day. Then i try to get him to snack on a bottle or two thru the day and this has been working great. I was first concerned about constipation but we have not had any problems with date he has even been going more like 3-4 times a day so all in all we are doing great!!!!!
