What a day!
We had quite a day! For the past 3 months or so, we have experienced many issues with feedings. First with nursing, then with finding the right bottle, then the right formula. Things seemed to finally figured out until a few weeks ago when Kaitlyn started just screaming a lot awhile after she ate...which was a struggle itself because she was very fidgety. I called the Doctor and they recommended gas drops because they said it sounded like gas...so I tried this and no success! So we changed our formula to a soy based formula. This didn't seem to help although she does spit up a lot less. I tried to figure out under what circumstances did she seem to eat with ease and not a lot of gas. It seems that when we are out and about, she does really well. What is different about this? I don't heat up her bottle, mainly because there is no way to do this when you are out somewhere. Also, I decided to go back to the "slow" rate nipples. So we tried it. It seems to have worked wonders because she ate really well with minimal fidgeting and most importantly NO SCREAMING! I was so frustrated because like I mentioned, this has gone on since she was born. I don't know why and I am afraid to believe we have fixed the problem!As expected, I took tons of pictures today!!!!
I caught her on camera holding her orange teething ring!

OH my goodness, she's getting so big! i didn't realize how much she's grown until I saw you holding her in the last picture!
I sure hope your eating issues are over too, that is never fun.
I HATE eating issues! Its looks like she is still gaining weight though! haha!
What was the problem? We did everything that you did as well, nipple change, complete bottle change, formula change (then went back) ugggg! For us it was just Julia so that was hard! Eventually we changed to Dr. Brown bottles which we LOVE! We have to warm the bottles, and when I try to give it to them a little colder they scream! Other than feeding two babies in public by myself being hard, having to warm their bottle also is a pain!
