doctor said that I should try to make sure that he gets at least 24 oz of formula a day to make sure that he's getting all the vitamins that he needs. They told me his three meals a day + snack is fine and to try giving him smaller amounts of formula in his sippy cup more frequently. If that doesn't work, instead of fighting with him to make him drink it, they will prescribe vitamin drops for him to make sure his nutritional requirements are met while he's on solids. They said that they have a few babies there that start on solids and no longer want to continue on formula and some of them are very stubborn about it! Laughing


oni was put on vitamin supplements, just becasue. She's been on them since 3 weeks.

Butttt!!! Let me warn you!! Give them to him *only* in the morning!! It gives them energy and causes restlessness at night!

I was wondering why .Oni had stayed up at night, when she would normally go to sleep. They asked when I gave her the supplements and I said "every night"...And that explained everything!!

Yea they can! So mixed grain/oatmeal cereal. Or applesauce should help with that!

I thought applesauce packs them. I have ibs (stress is not my friend, all health issues that I have are stress related, lol!) and I follow the brat diet during outbreaks. Applesauce packs me.

Brat diet?

For babies we were always told foods with a "p" in them will help relieve constipation.

Plums
prunes
applesauce
apricots
etc

Brat Diet
Posted: 01-22-07 13:05pm

Brat: is a acronym for bananas, rice, apples and toast.

Treatment: a short-term gastrointestinal (stomach or bowel) illness requires a change in your diet to begin the recuperation process.

For nausea and/or vomiting:
first six hours: in the immediate six or so hours after vomiting has stopped, it is best to give your stomach a rest. Following a period of one to two hours, suck on a hard candy or popsicle (no chewing). Then progress to ice chips or sips of water if nausea persists.

First 24 hours: (day one) gradually add clear liquids if the vomiting has ceased. Beginning with a sip or two every ten minutes is a good way to start. Suggestions include water, apple juice, flat soda, weak tea, jello (in liquid or gelatin form), broth or bouillon (clear based from non-greasy soup). If symptoms of nausea or vomiting return, begin the process again, taking nothing by mouth for an hour or so.

(day two) - begin to add bland foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, crackers, cooked cereals (farina, cream of wheat), toast and jelly.

(day three) - progress to a “regular” diet by adding such things as soft cooked eggs, sherbert, stewed fruits, cooked vegetables, white meat of chicken or turkey.
