He's doing great! Remember, they should double their birth weights the first week, so the white one has some gaining to do to catch up. Let me know if the white one gains tomorrow with the help of your supplemental feedings.

That is wonderful! How much and how often are you supplementing?

That's great. It has obviously made the difference. Keep it up until he's stronger!

The supplementing is paying off! This is very good news! Continue, and up the amount if possible.

Awesome! Music to my ears! Are you supplementing both or just the white one?

I started doing both since I was weighing twice a day and the gray one dropped a good amount yesterday morning. He actually takes the formula a lot better than the white one, he seems more laid back as he doesn't cry out as much.

I think supplementing both is a good idea. I'm wondering if mama is even producing enough milk. I think you've no choice but to continue supplementing both. It's clearly making the difference, and so vital at this stage. It's a curious situation. You're doing great though! They are lucky to have you! [emoji]128522[/emoji]
