bloated pinkie?

[Wonkawillie]

OK I am posting this in Emergency. I think I may have gotten some better pics.
Again this baby is acting fine, but just not thriving, has big belly. The other two are doing great. I wonder if I should skip a few formula feedings and do the pedialte to flush this possible gassy situation?135696

That pink line is his milkline, which means he is full, not necessarily bloated. However, you want to make sure that line is disappearing between feedings.

Are these three siblings? The one is noticeably smaller than the other two, which would make me worry about him. If they are siblings, then I'd start giving pedialyte between feedings and perhaps feed diluted formula more often and work him up to full strength formula more gradually.

Keep an eye on the milkline and whenever it gets to be just a thin little line, you can feed him again.

Yes, they are siblings, but this one was this much smaller than the others when I pulled them from the nest of the cut tree. So, he has grown a bit, but is certainly much smaller than the others still. He is not digesting well, as the others are so ready to eat and he still shows milk in his belly. I am going to do pedialite for a few feedings to try and flush out his belly. He is peeing and pooping. Doing my best here. stressfull.

WW you're doing great! Remember the good thing about pinkies -- whatever crazy all-night situation you have to pull for them sometimes, it's over in a couple of days as they move on to the next growth process and start eating differently. You may have to feed this lttle guy smaller amounts, more often. Write down the times and amounts that you feed, if you're not doing that already -- it gets confusing when you have 'concurrent schedules' :D.

I hope we hear soon. Was talking to her last night via pm and this little one is in trouble. Prayers continue.
