Well, we have been having feeding and spit-up issues with Morgan. When we were in the hospital we learned that Morgan might be allergic to cow's milk, when she had to be on formula while I was in ICU, because she was spitting-up alot. So we switched to soy formula and didn't have a problem with that at all. Once I was out of ICU I started feeding her and things were going okay, except that we weren't sure that Morgan was getting enough. So, the doctor told us to supplement after nursing with formula or breast milk to make sure Morgan gets enough to eat. But, then Morgan started spitting up more and more. A little spit-up is normal, but Morgan was spitting up quite a bit. And her little tummy was always rumbling and gurgling.
So, we did an experiment. Yesterday all we fed her was soy formula. She did so much better: only a little spit-up, and we noticed her tummy was much calmer. But, to be objective and finish our little experiment we went back to nursing today...and Morgan went back to spitting up. It seemed like she spat up nearly everything she had eaten the first time I nursed her this morning. So, we are back on the soy until we can discuss things with the doctor to see where to go next. Hopefully we can get things figured out.

Oh I feel your pain. I'm glad you were able to figure out what works and what doesn't fairly quickly. I know every baby is different... but we just learned Elayna is lactose-intolerant and the doc told us to dissolve some lactaid and give her 1mL before every nursing... and we've noticed a significant difference with less spit-up (more like projectile spewing). Keep us posted.
