DS was a terrible eater and he was also on infamil lipil with extra powder. The best time to feed him was when he was sleepy or sleeping, otherwise he HATED eating. Definate bottle aversion. And he'd never eat quantity wise what the dietician thought he should -- he never ever ate more than 4-5 ounces at a time -- lot of mornings it was more like 3-4. GI doctor would tell us that he'd eat when he was hungry, but never seemed to be the case. We fed him every 4 hours when we got home from the hospital when he was 2 months old. I loved the times when he was sleeping because he wouldn't struggle and fight the bottle. I'd rock him in the middle of the night and feed him.
When they did supplement his feedings with the NG tube while he was still in the ICC (NICU stepdown). It was almost as if he got too full and then he'd spit up (throw up). Fortunately once we got him home we were able to maintain the 50th percentile for weight by feeding him a higher calorie formula every 4 hours.
