with and it just wasn't working for us. He would have these

frequent little smears in his diaper all the time instead of having a

full BM. So, I quit using it and he has done pretty well on his own

lately. But, when I read that putting it in his nighttime feed didn't

work for , it registered that maybe I need to do what you are

doing. We were also putting it in his nighttime bottle and it just

wasn't doing the job. So, how much do you give and how do you

give it to him? How do you mix it in order to put it in his tube, I

mean?
