Kaleb and his weight issues!

We have been so worried about Kaleb and his weight, at 2 months he was at 90% for his age and at 9 months he was at 2%. Quite a drop for a little man. He has only been nursed his whole little life and wouldn't take formula. At nine months we decided to make it work with the formula because he HAS GOT to put on some weight. It took him 4 days to finally take a bottle, even then he hated it. The first day he drank 9 oz. the whole day and now he is drinking 4-8 oz bottles a day. In the last 4 weeks he has put on 2 lbs. 2.5 oz. and we are thrilled. He loves his bottles now, but holy crap formula is expensive! How do people afford a whole year of this?

Tell me about it! I was so happy when we made it through Gracie's year of formula.

I'm glad I haven't had to buy much formula so far. We have to top off my little chunker sometimes, but it's okay. Thank heaven you got on top of Kaleb. Little cutie!

Wow. I glad that formula is working. I bottle feed my kids, it is expensive but I used the Kirkland brand from Costco. It's very affordable. You can get 2 large cans for $20. Try it out, you'll save tons of money!
