[blparent] questions

[Leslie Hamric]

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.
