I'm not sure that every knows that we have switched to bottle feeding. Breastfeeding just wasn't going so well and to make a long story short, the bottle has been a blessing. It has been several weeks now that Riley has been on the bottle and feeding well. However, this last week he has had bloody show in his stool. It has gotten progressively worse and I took him to the doctor yesterday. It seems that he has an allergy to cow's milk and the formula he was on was dairy based. So, he has been switched to soy formula. If the bloody show doesn't decrease in the next several days, then he is to be seen again. But for now the doctors seem to think the solution has been found.
Aside from his poop issues (it's amazing what women with children talk about) Riley is growing with leaps and bounds. He has started to focus on objects and hold his head up when lying on his back. He is so strong. His nickname has become
Archie because when he's mad he can arch his back so much that I have a hard time picking him up.
Much like Caleb, Riley likes to eat. He now weighs 9 lbs. His doctor is amazed with his weight gain and feels that Riley is very healthy and will do even better now on soy formula.

Sorry to hear about the tummy trouble. It's great that he's still thriving despite it. I'm glad the bottles are working out. I loved being able to use bottles with Ruby.
Glad to know that they have a solution. That can be really scary! And I'm sure life is more predictable now!
And I loved that Caleb kept the pinata spirit all day-too funny!
This is What Harrison and the Twins both had they all ended up on a special hydro formula that was milk and soy free it was called NEOCATE amazing stuff..... if you need any help let me know the process is a pain...... have they checked him for acid reflux? with the arching... all 3 of mine had that 2.. that is an "easy" thing to "fix" anyways glad to see he is doing so well the kids look amazing and you are doing great !
