Yesterday, Nathan was 4 weeks old. It has been a crazy month to say the least. We have changed his formula 3 times because he was allergic to the milk and soy based formulas. He is now on alimentum, which is supposed to be a hypoallergenic formula. He went to the doctors yesterday because he has been projectile vomiting and they 
found traces of blood in his stool which means he is allergic to this formula. The doctor said to keep him on this formula for a couple more weeks to make sure all the proteins from the other formulas are out of his system. So he might not be allergic to alimentum. Lets hope he's not. The doctor also thinks he has acid reflux and put him on zantac. So not only is the poor thing allergic to his formula but he has acid reflux. Who knew babies could have acid reflux? The good news is despite all his feeding issues, he has been gaining weight very well. He is now up to 9 lbs 11 oz. As much as he throws up its a miracle he's gained anything. Here are a couple pics I took last week.
