[blparent] questions

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC Inc)]

For formula, I made a big batch using a blender. I'd mix the powder and
water and then have the blender do it's thing. 
I know how big my bottles were and knew how much was left because I knew
my starting point. 
For poopie v. pee diapers, you can always touch it. The poop will feel
runny until solid food happens.

There is a little smell. Leslie, why do you have to supplement with
formula?

Hi all.  I have some questions.  When you have a baby who's breast fed,
how
do you know whether he has a wet or poopie diaper?  Is it something
that's
determined by feel and if so, how do you know the difference?  I guess
the
poop doesn't smell from breast milk.  The nurse I talked to today said
we'll
probably end up having to supplement with formula so I'll have to do
both
breast and bottle feeding.  What's the best way to pour formula in the
bottle?  Since Michaels a premie, I need to keep track of how many cc's
he's
taking in.  The cc's can be determined in ounces too.  How do you keep
track
of how much he's taking in without being able to see the measuring lines
on
the bottle?  The nurse I worked with today has been asking me questions
I
don't know the answers to and it's kind of overwhelming.  I figured the
best
thing would be to post on list and hopefully get some good ideas like I
always have.

Leslie
