Lilo poop is getting soft. I am thinking of ordering from fox valley. Im in ontario Canada. Any guess how long shipping would take? And ordering by the pound.. How long on average does a pound last

Maybe call the place you plan on ordering from and they could probably tell you how long the shipping requires.

You are feeding the powdered Esbilac? I got this from another thread.. but did not read the entire thread. Are you mixing only with water (2 parts water, 1 part Esbilac powder)?

The Fox Valley is great and I personally use a mix of half Esbilac and half FV 20/50 after eyes open. BUT the Esbilac itself should not be causing soft poops. It should be mixed up at least 4 hours before feeding, stored in the fridge (I store the powder in the freezer) and never "reheat" unused formula.

Yes i have been mixing it that way.. Could it be from the sugar when i was rehydrating her on the weekend.. I pre mix in the evenings for the next day.. Maybe ive not kept it cool enough during the day.. Taking to work with me in lunch bag with cold packs..

How much does she weigh and how much is she taking at each feeding? How many times is she fed? Usually soft poops are overfeeding but the extra sugar water could be the cause too. What color are the poops?

Poop is a rusty deep orange colour . fed every 4 hours .weight was 110g on. Tuesday. Approx. 5 - 5.5 ml each feeding i feel her belly and stop when it feels full enough. Poop is soft.. But doesnt appear to be an amount at a time to worry about depletion of fluids. Will weigh her again tonight and adjust feeding amount accordingly

I am honestly confused about her age.. She meets some milestones for certain age characteristics but not others. I will post pics tonight with common objects beside her to use as guideline for anyone that can help with a. Guess-timate. Last night her tail showed signs of starting a bend. Yet she has no upper teeth showing.. She sleeps all the time. With one 10 minute period at 7pm feeding of awakeness and exploring surroundings.
