It's the calories he needs DD.. As I said I am really hoping he wont need supplementing and can maintain his weight with just breast feeding and food, but if he's still needing supplementation I'm not sure what to give him. I haven't had much to do with dieticians because they pushed formula all the time. I was so sick of it.. Plus they didn't tell me anything that wasn't common sense anyway.. When I tell them about what I have done with weaning the tube myself they just say that's what they would advise anyway..
ETA: He was having his EBM fortified with precription formula that I got subsidised, paid about $5 a tin.. I still have heaps left, I weaned him off it when he started solids so now he just has plain EBM down the tube..
