Bad Powder

Since being in the hospital, Jillian has been fed pre-mixed liquid formula (Similac) as a supplement to Mommy's milk. She seems to like it alright, and she keeps it all down, though we think it might be causing some gas. She hadn't reached large volumes yet, but considering that it could happen soon as she gets bigger, and that liquid is about 2x the cost of powder, we figured it would be better to start buying some powder formula and mix it up ourselves at home. Well, the first time we tried feeding Jillian the powder mix, she didn't really want much to do with it ... she would usually just suck a bit in, and then spit it back out. Later on, when she was pretty hungry, we fed the powder mix to her again, and she drank about 1 ounce of it. Unfortunately, after setting her down in her bouncy seat, every ounce of it came back up, landing on her and the seat. So, it looks like powder is out, and pre-mixed liquid is back in!
