My faithful blog readers know that little Sam hasan issue with spitting-up. He spits-up a LOT. Well, my milk supply has been kind of low this past week, so I tried giving Sam formula (I've been mixing it with about 1 oz. of breastmilk so he will actually drink it). Not only does Sam DOWN the formula, it has actually seemed to drastically cut down on the amount he spits up. Today I was feeling bad about giving him formula while I am still capable of nourishing him with just my breastmilk, so I nursed him one feeding and fed him a bottle the next feeding. Both times, he spit-up huge amounts. I think this may be the end of nursing him. It makes me really sad and depressed, which is not expected because I have always thought breastfeeding was a little creepy :)
So yeah- that's the update on sweet Sam. He is also making the cutest sounds (see video).
Devin and I went on our first date in 3 months last night, thanks to my mom and dad who watched Sam for us. We went to The Cheescake Factory and then saw a ridiculous movie called The Haunting in Connecticut. It was pretty cheesy. I tried getting in to it and being scared, but it didn't work. But being out on a date was great. I love Devin.

Sam is so adorable in the video !! He is getting so big!! His voice is too cute!! Sorry about breast feeding .if it makes you feel any better ...I had to stop breast feeding at 3 months with Lana...so your not the only one :)
Sam is such a mini Devin! Great post! No worries on feeding... whatever's best for you and Sam, right?! You're a fantastic mom!
Sam is so darn cute. His noises are adorable. I love his mohawk too :)
At least you found a solution to Sam's spitting up! That's so crazy. Maybe he eats too much when he nurses... ? Who knows! If you still wanted to breast feed a little- like even twice a day- you totally could, to keep the "special" bonding up. Although, you will definitely still bond with him while bottle feeding too. Good luck working that all out! Call me if you need any support :) Do whatever's best for you and Sam.
Glad you got to go on a date! Hurrah!
Sounds fun! sam is soooo CUTE!! I love that video! Also, I loved that picture of sam and Dixie!
Oh my word!!! That was the most precious movie! I want to be able to see it always!
Hey, I Love Devin TOO!!!
it sounds like sam is saying "da da da" cute!
Maybe Sam is sensitive to something your eating. But I do want to say that I read that babies spitting up peak around 4 months. I remember thinking that Ashlyn was never going to stop spitting up. Her burp rags were never big enough. I had to use her baby blankets for a while and it didn't seem to be getting better until around 6 or 7 months when she started eating more solids. And eventually I stopped having to carry a burp blanket around. So, I don't know if you want to endure it anymore but I think if you hang in there, it will get better! It's funny how the mother in us makes us "enjoy" breastfeeding.
He is the cutest, sweetest baby!!!!
i am so glad that you guys got out on a date. im pretty sure that i can count on both hand the number of dates marcus and i have been on since we had lola. sad. i had a friend whose little boy spit up all the time, as well, with her breastmilk, but when she gave him formula, he rarely spit up. whatever is best for you and sam and it will all work out! IM SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU GUYS!!*$&(#
