Breny,
Have you tried "HONEY" added to the formula? I switched from nutri-drops to honey at about 5 weeks, Joker started improving. In fact during the time he was having hypoglycemia attacks, the honey was much quicker to bring him out of his stupor then the nutrical. I think because its absorbed into the body so quickly. He also loved the taste of it in the formula. It wasnt long after that he happily lapped the formula with honey from a cup. This really made him gain weight. (try watering the formula down a bit to make it very liquid and add honey. Joker was not interested in thick formula. he also liked it lukewarm, but would drink it cooler later) Wasnt long after that he ate mighty dog and lil cesars along with the milkshake. Now he is totally weaned to dry food, with an occasional treat.
I just weighed him and he weighs 1 lb 6 ozs, hes lost about an oz here in the last week, but Im okay with it, because on his tiny frame, he was getting to heavy with all the rich formula and food all the time. He also is spending more and more time running throught out the house. I really dont think he will make 2 lbs as an adult.
Hope the honey does the trick!!! You might even invest in a commerical formula to save yourself from making the homemade stuff now. That is if Tia will drink it. Good luck! |
