Zion exclusively breastfeeds, it sometimes is very hard on momma because of his MCADD I have to make sure he eats every 2 hours since his body is so little for now until his genetics doctors in Chapel Hill say so he cannot go longer than 3 hours to eat. In them night I have constant alarms set to wake up and wake him up to feed. He takes one to two expressed milk bottles a day mixed with his carnitine, an amino acid his body uses(all our bodies use this) to dispose of them fatty acids that get stuck in his medium chain of fatty acids. If his body does not have this amino acid he will become deficient since he uses it way more than we do.
