I am down from 50+oz a day to ~35oz. It is still enough but a big drop.

Avraham Chaim is generaly drinking 10oz but I end up dumping another 5oz since it was in the bottle he was drinking from, thickened, and I can't save it for the next feeding. My supply is dwindeling though and I am sure he will catch on to eating some day and we will need more milk.

I am filling the freezer and at the same time having nightmares about losing my ability to pump. Totally irrational.

How is everyone else doing?

That is wonderful news!!

I am glad you were able to stick with ith with the sns. I know it isn't easy.

It sounds like most of the milk is breast milk now!! I am so happy for you and your little one!

How many ounces per day is he drinking?

10 total.

Though today we have managed to get 9oz into him and he isn't sleeping for the night yet. It is 6pm, and he usually gos to sleep at 7pm, so maybe he will take another two or possibly three ounces if all goes very well.

Ten. wow. I am sorry. He does look like he is growing very well, though. AC looks very healthy to me.

Did they give an estimate as to how much he should be taking in per day?

What is his weight now?

9oz today...

He pretends well. LOL My sig pics are old, but he still looks okay. His head is the only part of him on the charts.

He needs to be taking closer to 25oz a day.

He is 12lbs 2oz, down from 12lbs 5oz two weeks ago.

It is frustrating and upsetting. He has resorted to pretending to sleep when ever we try to feed him. We have to strip him for feedings to keep him awake enough to eat. He is wide awake before we start trying and as soon as the bottle is out of the picture though.
