Formula Feeding

I breastfeed my DS mainly. I supplement a little.

If you are breastfeeding, the amounts will be different. If you pump, you won't get as much as the baby gets (more on this later on a breastfeeding post).

This was taken from a formula handout, but always talk to your pediatrician if you have concerns. Your baby should be having plenty of wet and dirty diapers plus growing about an ounce a day (1/2 to 2/3 to 1 oz is normal). If you baby is gaining more than that, that is fine too.

Similac Formula recall

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162-20017390-10391704.html

Quite a few of the Similac brand formulas have been recalled because of some possible beetle parts. In this article, the lot numbers and phone number are included.

I think ready to feed bottles are ok.

GrapeMama has another baby!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile...I was busy being pregnant and even then I kept it very quiet.
Baby Girl was born in late August 2010. We are so happy to have another child.

I'll be posting more info on newborn stuff because of this. How much formula to give, breastfeeding on demand, what I have learned while trying to breastfeed #2, etc.

I'll try to keep up this blog more while on maternity leave.

I'll reference her as baby S or as DD - dear daughter.
