Thank you for all your reply. Since I stopped the flax oil, Nathan has been doing much better. I still have to somehow increase his calorie to replace the flax oil. Thank you for the tip on duocal or polycose. I will ask his Feeding docter when we visit him. My mother in law also mentioned to me to use rice milk (instead of water) to mix his Neocate. Have anyone try that ?
Sharon, yes we still visit St Joseph Feeding Center in NJ. I find them very helpful. I think they have dealt a lot with infant with feeding issues and can give us a lot of useful method to train Nathan. I still visit them once every 4-6 weeks.
Lori, I can sympthized with the sleep feeding. My husband and I literraly lost 10% of our weight due to the stress. Our process of eliminating the sleep feeding was very slow and literally took from last October till April. What we did was we made one of the day sleep feeding into awake feeding, wait till we got to the same calorie level, then started with the next one. We tried a lot of things to get him to eat awake. We tried syringe and he took it ok, but obviously it is very inconvienient. Then we found a disposable sippy cup we get from Wallmart. I think people call it “toss and go” cup. It has a somewhat flexible cover and so if he did not suck on it, we just squeeze the cover to get Neocate into him. He usually swallow if he squeeze Neocate in his mouth. We are still doing it this way, even sometimes in restaurant. Imagine if I use syringe in restaurant
, we will be the main attraction there. He is eating solid ok, so that helps. We focus a lot on high calorie solid such as chicken in gravy, sweat potato, etc.Fen Fen
