Big meals in small packages
The feeding schedule has again been increased. It is now up to 6 teaspoons (one ounce) every three hours - or one teaspoon every thirty minutes. Certainly doesn't sound like much for a person that's supposed to be growing!
But this is pretty rich stuff. The milk [thanks, Ericka!] provides him with about 60 calories per pound of his body weight per day.
Ponder this... If you weigh 160 pounds (73Kg), Mathias' food intake equates 9,600 calories per day for you. To make that a bit more tangible - 9,600 calories gets you:

- 17 Big Mac hamburgers
- Or, if you're more health conscious, 160 average size apples
- Or, if you're a dairy man like Mathias, 16 pints of ice cream
- Or, if you're a Monson, 42 Hershey's bars rinsed down with a case of Diet Coke.
Any way you slice it, he's a member of the big eaters club!

Congratulations Mathias on more grub and less CPAP - that's wonderful news. Sorry guys I haven't been in touch - busy week -
but will call soon! Glad to hear that things are going good!

Eight weeks left on my countdown and the weight gain has slowed (thankfully), but.... I think I could definitely try the servings of apples, ice cream, and chocolate! :) Keep the wonderful news coming -- it's a great way to start my day!
Could you go into a little more depth on that whole Hershey bar and Diet Coke thing. Lunch isn't looking too hot around here today and now I am hungry! He looks great and it sounds as things are looking up, especially his weight!
We are looking forward to seeing the little poop this weekend.

wtg Mathias.. he will be putting on the weight in no time now!!
Hej på er!
En sån guldklimp ni har, härligt att höra och framförallt se på alla fina bilder hur Mathias växer, han är snart ikapp våran Mathias. Andréas gillade den blå mössan - samma färger som Djurgården!! Mor Greta och jag hämtade Niclas och Lucas på dagis idag så vi har lekt och busat. Det är toppen att vara mor-mor.Många hälsningar från oss alla. Och fortsätt skriv det är så kul att läsa. Kram Birgit
Would that be the "Pound Bar" or are we talking the regular over the counter hershey bar? There is a big difference you know.
Mathias looks go wonderful! He is taking on the Monson look! (Sorry Patrick)! Love, Aunt B
