A little frustrated with the dietician

tabbycat821 · May 13, 2009

So my son wasn't really gainig enough weight and he was upped to a 30 calorie formula recipe.Well we've been making that and I starting adding a tiny bit of Activa yogurt to the formula as was recommended by the Dr. I also started giving him cereal with his meds that he gets twice a day and i stopped breastfeeding so he would get more calories. So anyways I've been doing all this and it's been working:he gained about 10 ounces in 5 days. When we saw the dietician she said his weight gain is getting better and maybe in two weeks at our next visit we can lower the calorie count back down,ok. Now this is where I get frustrated, she would like me to spread out his feedings more to lik every 3 hours. I feed him when he's hungry, we also found that if he eats too much at once he vomits. She says I know I said that he should get more formula but really you should space it out and will you keep track of when he eats and how much. Argh this is frustrating, make up your mind lady, it took quite awhile for us to find something that works and now she wants to change it. I think I am going to have to go with my mothher's intuition and what I know works with our son.
