Pregnancy Info HOME

My ds was a preemie and had this problem. He was put on a substance called thickit until his weight got to where they wanted then we were able to change to a product called Simply thick. It is much more convient as well as it doesnt cause the big D. We had to hold up up to fed him as well as thickening his formula to the consistency of honey. I also found a way to make my own simply thick b/c that stuff is very expensive. You would still want the simply thick if you are traveling but the homemade kind works great for all the bottles at home. We were seen at childrens hospital. The thickeness that my son required we could not use cereal b/c it would have caused him to become over weight. If you have any other questions you can think of you are welcome to email me at lil_bunn_y at hotmail (dot) com. the _ are supose to be there just put the rest together after that. Let me know your from the forum so it dont get trashed! Oh and on the setting up while feeding we had to set him on our leg and hold his head up by putting a thumb on one side and middle finger on the other side of his jaw and hold him up in a setting position. It mite not be so hard for you b/c even at 3 months he should have only been 6 weeks and so he did not have a lot of kneck strength yet.
