Over Eating!

Not only is the critter gaining weight, but now we find that by continuing to regularly supplement breastfeeding with formula, he is actually being over fed! In the past week or so, we noticed increased farting, spitting up, and wheezing. The lactation consultant said this is acid reflux due to overfeeding. Last night I just breastfed him, rather than following up with formula, and he slept much better...not quite "through the night" yet, but pretty good.

Despite being force fed by his folks, the critter is not fatso. At 9 pounds 8 ounces he is still around the 18th percentile for both length and weight. No wonder it is difficult to find stuff that fits him; the industry is catering to that other 82 percent of babies!
