Today I have had him for one week. I have been feeding him at 5% to 6% body weight. He has put on 13g in a week. He is starting to get a little bit of white hair on his chest, and my goodness, is he enthusiastic about eating.
I went ahead and ordered front Henry's. Syringes, nippers, formula, and some blocks for next month...
I do have one more question I hope you guys won't mind answering. How much powdered formula will I likely use in the time he nurses? I have 12 oz of FV on the way, and about 9 oz of Esbilac left. I will be weaning him to a 50/50 blend. I was going to go ahead and order a 12 oz esbilac from amazon for $13 and free shipping while I still have a prime trial. I just am not sure if I will need it. Thoughts?
