He's gaining again!!!!!!!
Teeter is still not eating terribly well but we have him on a stronger mix of his powder formula and he appears to be gaining weight again. We now have a baby scale and we can keep track of his weight each day. Very nice. I'm so relieved that he seems to be able to keep the weight on again.

That's wonderful! What a relief huh? I worry about Cameron's weight constantly, so I understand.
I have a baby scale that I rent too (for the past 3+months) and I am THRILLED to get an +.02 kg gain, which I got this morning. So it sounds like they're gaining together.  Again, yay! Feeding issues are so tough.

Ath - I know I've told you a bajillion times - but feeding/weight gain issues are the worst! I'm so glad he seems to be keeping the weight on. Prayers that he continues to do so. Hugs! - Suz

I want to cry.... though Teeter's weight has somehow remained relatively stable, he does not like to eat anymore. Read: He screams and throws a big fit and then puked when you try to feed him solids. It took MONTHS of very hard work to get him eating solids and we are back at square one. I am so frustrated. I talked to his ST today looking for some reassurance and he said "It will be like starting over". Right now I feel like I can't do it again... but I know that's not an option, so I'm trying to keep myself from crying. Its so tiring.

Well, little T had another doctor's visit this morning. Despite the fact that he has again been puking for five days, he has managed to somehow gaine NINE ounces in the last 10 days! YEAH!!!!
I still feel no better about his eating, but I will take a moment and celebrate his weight gain!

WOW!!! 9 ounces is amazing to me! Definitely celebrate. My son has gained .08 kg in the past 3 days and I'm happy.
