We had to change our formula last week but the boys seem to be tolerating it pretty well. They still continue to get about half breast milk, half formula in their bottles. We were using Similac, as we had received a bunch of it for free, but it was recalled due to the possibility of beetle parts & larva being found in the formula from one of their manufacturing facilities. I used their website online to look up the lot numbers of the formula we had on hand and it was all recalled. I took the recalled cans back to Wal-Mart, which I received store credit for, but our local Wal-Mart was all out of the Similac liquid formula (which was the equal substitute for the powder and had not been recalled) and all of the Similac powder formula had been pulled due to the recall. I had no choice but to select a different brand. We decided to change to Gerber/Nestle Good Start Protect Plus, as a friend of ours also had breastfed and had no issues switching to this brand of formula. The boys were a bit constipated for the first few days but they both seem to be doing better this week & spitting up a little less.
Both of the boys are smiling more consistently now. They love when you sit with them one-on-one and talk happily, sing and smile at them. They are still a bit selective with their smiles but we see them emerging more & more everyday.
Wyatt
Wyatt is my little snuggler. Even when he starts to get a little crabby right before he falls asleep, he loves being held on our chest with his head resting on our shoulder. I am enjoying the snuggling time I get with him now because I’m sure those days will come to an end as he grows up.
Colton
Colton has times where he would rather play on his own than have you hold him. I think he just likes having his own time sometimes. He loves to play under our “fish-themed” playmate and he is now long enough that he can bat at the fish toys by his head and kick the beach ball that hangs by his feet.
