Well, we now know that Colby did not have a stomach bug the other day. Apparently, he just cannot tolerate the formula concentrate. We hesitantly tried it again this morning as directed by our cardiologist's office, and once again, the poor baby threw up several times just a couple of hours after drinking his first bottle. It is very strange, but I guess he is just not going to be able to have any formula in his bottles. We have now tried several times with several different types of formulas (different brands, types, powder, liquid concentrate), and none of them have worked. We are officially done with adding formula!! We do not want to see Colby sad from throwing up any more! He was pitiful this morning with his big crocodile tears.
I'm not sure what we are going to do to increase his calories now. I will have to speak with the nutritionist again on Monday and tell her that the formula is definitely out. Hopefully she will have some other suggestions. The good news is that he is wanting to feed himself finger foods now. The other morning he ate almost 1/4 of a banana. Maybe we can just keep adding more finger foods to his diet and see if that will help. Of course, that will only work if he continues to want to eat finger foods. We will just have to take it one day at a time!
