Leo was diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease (AKA: GERD or reflux). This became our final obstacle we couldn't overcome in the breastfeeding battle. In order for Leo to have the same "food" for every feeding we needed to switch to 100% formula. I had to put aside my own pride, frustration and disappointment and think of what was best for Leo's tummy. He is doing well on the medication and formula feedings. He rarely spits up and though seems uncomfortable at times can be consoled fairly quickly.
He has been a superb sleeper. This past Tuesday night he slept for 8 hours!! AMAZING! I guess he and Dru got the sleeping gene from me :) We have been very lucky!
