It is our
job as Mikylah's parents to keep her safe and healthy (as it is with
any parents) so we had to devise a system that would allow her body to
keep her formula in her tummy and to gain weight.
This is an outline of our typical day:
3:00 a.m. 4 1/2 oz. "powered" Pregestimil formula
8:00 a.m. 41/2 oz. "powered" Pregestimil formula
9:00 a.m. 1 ml. Ursodiol (drug that helps produce bile)
10:00 a.m. 1 ml. Aquadek & 1 ml. D-Visol (vitamins)
11:00 a.m. 15 mg. Prevacid (to neutralize tummy acid)
12:30 p.m. 4 1/2 oz. "powered" Pregestimil formula
2:00 p.m. 1 ml. Ursodiol
5 :00 p.m. 4 1/2 oz. "powered" Pregestimil formula
8:00 a.m. 41/2 oz. "powered" Pregestimil formula
9:00 a.m. 1 ml. Ursodiol (drug that helps produce bile)
10:00 a.m. 1 ml. Aquadek & 1 ml. D-Visol (vitamins)
11:00 a.m. 15 mg. Prevacid (to neutralize tummy acid)
12:30 p.m. 4 1/2 oz. "powered" Pregestimil formula
2:00 p.m. 1 ml. Ursodiol
6:00 p.m. 1 ml. D- Vi sol
9:00 p.m. 4 1/2 oz. "powered" Pregestimil formula
10:00 p.m. 3 ml. Novo-Trimel Cotrimoxazole (antibiotic)
We figured out that in order to get a baby to take their medicine easily, put it in a nipple and have them suck it out of there. It works great!
