The feedings are going phenomonally well compared to where we were, but his weight has slipped below the 25th percentile, as was confirmed at our 9 month check on Thursday. He takes around 15 oz per day of formula, which we knew was low, and the pediatrician said he would prefer at least 24, or really closer to 30. On the flip, he is actually starting to take more food than is typical for a 9 month old. We probably need to reduce the amount of food we give him, so he is hungrier for the formula. We upped the calorie content of the formula and we give him undiluted cream soups which are high in calories too. I do mix the veggies with them. It has only been within the past 10 days that he has really started to be hungry, and voice it to us. I think he had to be off of the tube for a while for his body to figure it out. Gabe goes back in 3 weeks for a weight check, so we have three weeks to prove we can make it without using the tube. Our OT was telling us about a product they have at Walgreens that is VERY high in calories and you can mix with other foods, so that may be the next step if Gabe doesn't gain enough. The last two days he has taken 19 ounces over the course of the day, so we are getting closer to normal. Everyone who sees him agrees that to look at him, you'd never guess he was getting on the low side for his weight. He looks fantastic - and still has those full, pinchable cheeks!
