formula

formula
you has been drinking only 23oz per day when you should down about 40oz. recently you threw tantrums at night. you tossed and turn for an hour. then cried for another hour. i had a flashback of the confinement periods. Cuddled, your face at my breast reminds me of our difficult feeding times... now it still is difficult to feed you. you refuse to finish your drink. i would be happy if you can finish the small avent bottle.
i have tried many formulas.
2nd month - similac
3rd month - enfalac ~juz bcoz it has higher DHA
4th month - enfalac & friso
5th month - mamil & similac
i never follow the rule of thumb of not mixing formulas. hee.. dangerous concoction huh... i switch brands to see if you would prefer other milk thus making you drink up. to no avail though. i dedcided to switch back to similac due to poo-ing issues. if i were to follow the theory of breastmilk poo and formula poo. sometimes those on breastmilk dont poo because it is well balance thus no wastage. so i noticed that with enfalac she poos more(quantity) and curd like. while with similac she poos less and muddy. so i deduce that the milk is well balance!... hee.. anyway it still doesnt resolve the problem of your low milk intake.
so i decided to give you a boost. i had a can of cereal. so i added a tablespoon of cereal to 5oz of milk instead of your intake of 4oz. you hooked on the bootle after the first taste. then Voila!..you finished the whole bottle. i find it most amazing....
so it will be a new ritual for you... one bottle booster for breakfast...
