Jac is now 1126 grams - 2.48 pounds. He gained 12 grams last night - which is not much. They would like him to start gaining 30 to 40 grams a day. They are probably going to up his milk supplementation to 28 kcal / ounce (it is currently 26 kcal / ounce) by adding Medium Chain Triglycerides to it - basically calories to see if that helps.
I am also trying to help more naturally by separating my milk into foremilk and hindmilk. The first milk that I express is foremilk - this has a lower fat content and is more watery. After that I start expressing hindmilk which has more fat and hence more calories. We will be giving him just hindmilk which will be more calorically dense and should help him gain weight more quickly. We will start doing this with tomorrow mornings feed.
