5/30/13 born at 35 wks. refuses food & formula. wgt in 5th percentile. max formula intake 12-16oz daily. is this common? does this usually get better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TRY MANY TYPES:: 9 1/2 mo. Doesn't have to depend mainly on formula. Try different flavor cereal at breakfast, pureed food with mix of vegetables, e.g. Potato, carrot, broccoli, cucumber, beans, rice, etc + strained meat: chicken, beef, etc at lunch ; dinner. Add some vegetable oil/butter, salt, onion. Make chicken or vegetable soup. The idea is to give different types/tastes of food. No juice, 18 oz formula/d ok.
