Guest guest Posted February 2, 2000 Report Share Posted February 2, 2000 ____________________________________________________________________________ ___ > Kathy, If you find somewhere to get the stool sample cards from, please let me know. I feel the exact same way that you do, about not being able to see the blood and that is scary. As for the Elecare, I don't know much about it, just that its for one year old and up. Hope you find something out. J.C. > Message: 6 > Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2000 22:08:02 -0600 > > Subject: Re: EG/EC/EE > > Bea, I feel so bad for you having to do the waiting game - been there > myself.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2000 Report Share Posted February 2, 2000 Dawn, My daughter weighed in at 5lbs 4ozs. at birth and she weighed about the same as Mackenzie at 2 months, so she sounds okay to me. It also goes by her height and all. As long as she keeps gaining, I wouldn't be to concerned. How much does she usually eat? takes 4ozs. every 3hrs usually, some times a little more, sometimes less. He eats about 29 ozs. a day on average. He is having dark green hard stools now, I'm not sure what they'll do for that, but I know he needs to stay on the Neocate. When he was on regular formula, his were a mustard color with green mixed in.
