Well, we've made the switch to formula. After doing everything we could to breastfeed, including the tube supplement (which was horrible), I never produced enough milk. We began bottle feeding with formula and have had a much more enjoyable week. Luke is now content since he is not hungry all the time. And we have been able to get into a bit of a routine. Now that he is eating well, he's also gaining weight. Luke weighed 8lbs 15oz on Monday the 23rd. Since he has surpassed his birth weight we don't have to worry about waking him up to feed. He is eating 3-4oz every 3-4 hours (and occassionally 5). So now we are all getting some sleep too!
However, he is still vomitting every other day. We switched to formula for sensitive tummies but have not seen a change. Hopefully he will be able to hold his food down soon. It upsets Mommy more than it upsets him!
Oh so glad you figured something out! You tried for a while - this is probably better for both of you! :-)
