Nicolas is coming home tomorrow!!!! One day before his due date!!! I am so excited to finally have our whole family together and in the comfort of our own home!!! They put Nicolas on Soy formula a few days ago and that has helped ALL of his problems that were preventing him from coming home. He seems to have a milk intolerance, but he will probably grow out of it and be able to breastfeed later.
Ethan has been throwing up a lot and hasn't gained ANY wight since he's been home. We've been trying to supplement the breastfeeding with formula to help him gain weight but that hasn't helped. Yesterday his Dr. recommend trying Soy Formula because he may have some intolerance as well if that was Nicolas problem. We will just have to keep adjusting his diet to see what works for him. ----- I have found out recently I have a family history of milk intolerance and also with them being premature, they are just more sensitive. They also had to be on a lot of Anti-biotics for infections so that may have caused an imbalance in their gut. So maybe after things get back into balance they will be AOK.
They have a lot of growing and maturing to still do. But now we can give them both lots and lots more love to help them along.
