(An overview of the most common anabolic protocol used by competitive bodybuilders and power athletes)
Stack Main Compounds Typical Dosage (per week) Key Benefits
Classic Testosterone Ester, Nandrolone Decanoate, Dianabol (Methandrostenolone) 250–500 mg T, 200–400 mg N, 20 mg D per day Maximal muscle hypertrophy, improved strength, faster recovery
Modern Trenbolone Acetate, Boldenone Undecylenate, Testosterone Propionate 50–100 mg T, 50–75 mg B, 25–50 mg Tren per week Greater protein synthesis, anabolic to androgenic ratio tilt toward muscle
Bulky Dianabol, Deca-Durabolin, Nandrolone Decanoate 20 mg D, 200 mg Deca, 400 mg N per day Classic bulking stack: rapid gains but high side effect risk
Continue exclusive breastfeeding if possible; aim for ~12–15 feeds per day (≈ every 2 h).
Keep record of milk intake and stool patterns.
Supplementary Formula
If breastmilk is insufficient or the baby shows poor weight gain, add a small amount of formula to each feed: start with 1–2 mL and gradually increase by 0.5 mL per feeding until desired intake is reached (≈ 150 mL/kg/day).
Use a suitable infant formula (e.g., standard cow‑milk based, hypoallergenic if needed).
Feeding Technique
Hold baby upright during feeds; pause when the baby stops or shows discomfort.
After each feed, burp the baby to reduce gas and reflux.
Monitoring
Record feeding volume, weight gain (weekly), diaper output, signs of reflux (regurgitation, irritability).
Note any changes in stool consistency; if stools remain loose for >2 weeks or become watery with mucus/occult blood, re‑evaluate.

3. When to Seek Immediate Care
Situation Action
Vomiting that is persistent (more than twice a day) or vomiting bile/red fluid Call your pediatrician immediately; may need urgent evaluation for obstruction or severe reflux.
Sudden weight loss >2 % in a week (if you can weigh the baby) Contact your pediatrician promptly.
Severe abdominal distension or pain Call for urgent assessment.
Any concern that the baby is not feeding properly, seems uncomfortable, or has changed behavior Discuss with your doctor; may need adjustment in feeding plan.

How to Use This Plan
Track Feeding & Growth
- Keep a simple log of each feed: time, duration, and any notes (e.g., baby cried, was fussy).
- If possible, weigh the baby weekly (or every 2–3 weeks) and note the weight.
Adjust as Needed
- If the baby is gaining well but seems uncomfortable or fussy during feeds, consider increasing the frequency slightly (e.g., add one more feed per day).
- If the baby is not gaining adequately, check for any signs of reflux or other medical issues and consult your pediatrician.
Monitor for Reflux Symptoms
- Keep an eye out for frequent spitting up, arching during feeds, or irritability after feeding.
- If these occur, mention them to your pediatrician; they might suggest feeding adjustments (e.g., more upright position) or further evaluation.
Keep a Feeding Log
- Record the time of each feed, how much the baby ate (if you can estimate), and any reflux symptoms. This information will be helpful during follow‑up visits.
Follow Pediatrician’s Advice
- If your pediatrician recommends additional feeding sessions or specific feeding techniques to manage reflux, follow those instructions closely.
Bottom Line
Do not skip feeds; continue with the 6–7 feedings per day.
If you suspect reflux, observe for symptoms and consider a short trial of more frequent, smaller meals.
Consult your pediatrician if reflux symptoms persist or worsen.
