Today we went for our weight check and Wyatt actually put on 1lb2.5oz in 2 weeks! I jumped up with my hands in the air and squealed - must have been quite a sight. I finally had to devise a detailed schedule for the two of us in order to be able to fit 5 bottles plus 9hrs of tube feeding in. I've been trying to tweak our daily routine for a few weeks now and have finally come to something that works. I had to work around the fact that there are only 24hrs in a day and that he likes to eat on a 3 hr cycle, plus he needs a couple hours after the tube stops to start his first bottle etc. I am so pleased with myself for finally figuring it out! I do have to wake him up for feedings though, otherwise he'll sleep too long and we can't fit the 5th bottle in at the end of the day AND the second lot of milk I add to the tube doesn't have formula in it, otherwise he won't eat his first bottle in the morning.
Weight: 10lbs7oz (10th percentile OMG!)
Height: 22inches (8th percentile OMG!)
