Did you hydrate before attempting feeding?

What are you feeding?

Heating pad without shutoff on low but under 1/2 container only

[eternallight24]

We did hydrate with Pedialyte and honey water 1 tablespoon of honey in one cup of water I think he took around 3 mL of the honey water and probably 8 mL of Pedialyte over the course of about eight hours
We did not learn until two days later that the Pedialyte probably should have been half-and-half we have made a lot of mistakes with this little one but here we are six days later

I purchased a can of Esbilac from Petco and started him on that then we came across the forums stating Esbilac may have issues so I purchased the Fox Valley those containers which arrived yesterday coincidentally last night I came across forums stating Fox Valley was not safe it was like cement for under four weeks old I have both formulas
Today we started mixing three parts Esbilac to one part fox in an attempt to switch him over to Fox Valley I was a little concerned that when I went to stir both formulas the Fox Valley was significantly thicker almost like baby cereal and we mixed it according to the directions one part powder to three parts water I believe ? Is it normal for it to stick in this much ?

Fv 2050 is one part powder to 2 parts water so an example would be 1/2 tbls of formula mixed in 1 tbls water… is it possible you’re overheating water before adding formula? If too hot when mixing it can degrade nutrients … however if too cool when served baby won’t really want to eat it (our girl likes formula like 110-112)

I’d say you should start seeing huge improvement by weaning over to fv because we had failure to thrive for initial days on esbalic too… but my girl also had ap and it was probably the antibiotics that actually created most improvement

Do you hear clicking when baby is sleeping?

When mixing you’re taking and making one batch of each formula according to package instructions and then doing your 3/1 ratio from the already mixed and set up formulas, right? (Not adding both powders to water and stirring?)

How does appetize seem? Baby is eager for bottles?

[eternallight24]

I purchased a 3.5 pound bucket of the the 32/40 and the 20/50
The first batch mixed was the 32/40 because that was for under four weeks and eyes are not open yet
I purchased both buckets because I am assuming he is around four weeks ?
Esbilac was mixed in a coffee cup
Fox Valley was mixed in a coffee cup
( both kept separately ) and then they were mixed - 3 tablespoons of Esbilac and 1 tablespoon of Fox Valley that’s why I noticed when I stirred and went to combine them that the Fox Valley was extremely thick much thicker than the Esbilac

What are you feeding?

I would start by doing hydration in between feedings again based off that picture

Over previous 6 days did baby eat then stop? How much are you feeding? And how often

Should be getting in 5-7% of body weight per feeding on schedule every 2-3 hours with hydration feedings 1/2 between each considering condition in my opinion

How’s breathing? If ap they lose appetite
