Feeding
We have to add thickener to Brenner's formula. It has no caloric value, so essentially it dilutes the formula. So we have to mix the formula 26 calories per oz and then add the thickener . The formula comes out honey consistency. Brenner has to drink it through a fast flow nipple. There was concern he would get tired and not get enough nutrition. But, being my son, Brenner has had no trouble what so ever and is plowing through bottles like a champ. In fact, he has gained a pound since we left the hospital.
