I'm sorry I dont have a response to your whole milk concern/question. But I have a question of my own. I see that your son was born at 1 lb 3 oz, I was wondering if he is under weight or is gaining steadily? See my 21 month old daughter was born at 15 oz and is only about 19 lbs. I feed her a balanced meal. Oatmeal or grits/porridge for breakfast, maybe with a sausage patty, for lunch she has her serving of meat, whether it be chicken, ground beef, turkey, etc, a veggie and some sort of starch (pasta, potatoes, etc) and for dinner its kind of along the same lines as lunch with snacks in between. She is a picky eater and sometimes I have to fight with her to eat something. I was wondering if I was doing something wrong or should be ding something different. I know that she is a preemie, but I look at other children her age and wonder what I am doing wrong, for her not to be gaining weight.
I also wanted to know how long it took your son to learn to walk (if he is walking yet). My daughter goes to physical therapy once a week (all that my insurance will allow). Also is he speaking yet, I mean full words or sentences. Because my daughter still babbles. I know I am going on and on, but I just have some concerns and wanted to get some insight from another mom with a preemie.
Thanks for your time,
A.
