First taste of cereal

Julian has had so many issues since birth with formula and colic and reflux. We switched from similac advance to isomil (soy) and he flat out refused to drink it. I then tried sensitive and he drank that but the problems didn't go away. I then tried mixing soy and sensitive to get to 100% soy and we didn't get all the way through that because Julian stopped drinking bottles all together. He is now on a hypoallergenic aka VERY EXPENSIVE formula. The positive here though is that all of the colic symptoms are GONE!!! No more pain from gas and no more hours of crying. He still will only take a 2-4oz bottle, every two hours or so. The doctor also has me trying cereal in every bottle and spoon fed cereal 2x day to see if that helps with the reflux, so far no good. Today alone we went through 5 outfit changes and 2 baths because he gets all wet and gross. I tired him out feeding him (smile)
