We try to get him to drink at least 16 ounces a day (that's what a nutritionist said was his minimum - that was several months ago, however). Actually, this past week I was really worried about him because he just wouldn't drink. He was having more like 10 ounces a day -obviously not enough! He's learned how to push the cup away (which is exciting) so maybe it was just a control thing. He seems to be drinking again. <br /><br />In a perfect world, he'd drink 4 ounces 4 times a day. Our pediatrician said as long as he has 4 wet diapers a day, he's getting enough to drink. So anyway, that was a really long answer to say that he's inconsistent. Sometimes he'll drink 4 oz., 6, 1 or none at all during a feed - if he doesn't drink a lot, he'll usually make up for it later.<br /><br />Have a safe trip!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597901803216176184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6445865875188433871.post-51893255653589398582009-08-07T21:54:58.245-05:002009-08-07T21:54:58.245-05:00Lisa how much fluid does Elijah take in - during e...Lisa how much fluid does Elijah take in - during each feed?Brextin's Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11524019474857650910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6445865875188433871.post-81955759581081751072009-08-06T22:58:24.819-05:002009-08-06T22:58:24.819-05:00Randi,

I have to say, he looks so cute in this video - even more so than usual. :)<br /><br />Plus, I noticed the black paper you taped to his tray. What a good idea! I'm going to try that with Elijah. Perhaps that'd help him with his self feeding too...so thanks for the idea!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597901803216176184noreply@blogger.com
