Bolus feeds and calories

We've had some success recently with bolus feeds (one large feeding as opposed to continuous drip) after adjusting the calories.  It seems that Auggie has a hard time with high calorie formula. I've been giving him breastmilk (20 cal/oz.) and 20 cal/oz. formula bolus and he has not vomitted.  I guess some babies just have a hard time processing rich food.  When he gets breastmilk via the tube his mood changes dramatically - he seems happier and full of energy. We give him about 50-60ml bolus in 30 minutes.  The bolus feeds are important because they will help his stomach stretch and prepare for "real" meals in the future.

Revised formula recipe once again

We've changed the calorie content of his formula again since the vomiting continues regardless of calories per ounce. We're now back at 24 calories per ounce at 30 ml/hr and still on continous feeds. I keep mentioning tube weaning as he is nursing more now and the doctors keep talking about G-tube (stomach tube). Once all the EEG and MRI test results are back we'll know better how to proceed. The good news is that he is nursing more - today he nursed 5-6 times - the most he's nursed in 2 months!! I am VERY pleased about that. Now I need to increase my milk supply - more pumping!!!
