We’re Fattening Up Our Baby with Beer
Well, the super fattening prescription formula backfired. After almost two weeks, baby lost weight because he cries bloody murder whenever we try to give him the bottle. So now we have to use a feeding tube to pump the super fattening prescription formula up his nose and into his little tummy. [Note to couch potato dads: we have confirmed it — you can use the feeding tube to pump beer directly into your belly (TV remote not included with feeding tube).]

Awww, Poor Little Disney! Poor mommy and daddy! I’m sorry everyone has to endure this ordeal. Maybe this will turn the trick, and Little Disney will FINALLY get in some nutrients and start gaining weight. He still looks very alert and bright-eyed, though, so that says to me that he’s a fighter. I’m wondering how long until he figures out a way to get those arm restraints off!

We took off his arm restraints when he got home. It was hard for him to use his hands with the restraints on. Hopefully he won’t yank out the tubing.
Happy birthday little guy. You’re a very strong trooper.

Awww. I’m guessing the arm things are to prevent him from pulling the tubes. Poor little guy! I hope that the hospital people were very understanding of the rest of the family and lenient with visiting hours. Bless you guys.

Some of the nurses at the hospital were annoying. Must have been a bad day for them or something.
He’s so adorable.
Bless his little heart! Maybe the fattening formula will plump up your little man!

I think it’s making him bloated at night. He has trouble sleeping again.
Awwwww dag nab it, I keep praying this little guy can skip to the end of all this junk. What a trooper! Hope mom and dad are hanging in there too!
Hugs,
Holly

I’m hoping the feeding tube will be out before he turns one.
He is so cute!!! Good job, Daddy Forever.
So, poor guy! You guys have been through a lot. Good idea about the beer. Isn’t it nasty anyway to taste? This way it’ll just go straight down I guess. Ha ha

I agree, beer tastes awful. The tube is a better way to get drunk.
Your son’s half-Irish bride-to-be Bella approves of the beer. LOL
As for the beer tube for couch potatoes… they’ll need a tube for going to the bathroom w/o leaving the couch too :P
I hope he plumps up soon so mommy and daddy forever can get some rest and shed the worry.
As for nurses when I had my first C-section w/ Chloe the nurses were super bitchy. Excuse the profanity, but they were and no other word does it justice. Talk about making you feel like you were putting them to trouble… sheesh. I feel your pain.

Exactly! Since they’re charging about a million dollars a night at the hospital, they should at least treat you like a VIP.
I got the bathroom cover. Adult-size diapers.
The title is something.

Beer! Hmmmmm… adult-size diapers? Ikky… get a catheter! lol
Hope wee Disney picks up soon… shame he is having a tough time.

A catheter sounds like a good idea as long as you don’t connect the wrong tubes.
Aww, poor little sucker.
Would be good for beer though…or bourbon.

Yes Disney does look strong and spunky despite the fact that he’s not buffing up like a sumo. Poor little guy, I hope he puts on weight quickly and nothing is seriously wrong. He’s just 2-3 weeks older than my granddaughter. She sometimes screams when nursing, guess it’s harder than the bottle and she protests that she has to do any of the work to be fed. It can get nerve racking. I can only imagine what you all are going through. I love your keep up spirit and sense of humor through it all. (Beer for its medicinal calming and fattening value might not be a bad idea ;)
If I didn’t make fun of the situation, I would go totally crazy.
Oh, wow. Is there anything he’s not allergic to? Is it just allergies causing the FTT, or is there more serious than that? I hope you find something that he can tolerate soon. Meanwhile, he is a beautiful baby! *gush*
Happy WW!

They put a camera inside him and didn’t find anything wrong. So that’s good to know. Still don’t know why he hates eating.
awww that hurts my heart! :( hope he gets well really soon!

Oh, he’s beautiful. My thoughts are with you!
The modesty patch is hilarious! In one of my pics of my kids…i think i used a toy star! I hope he is feeling better soon…
Love the modesty patch too. Great idea, the beer tube. Your strength and love show through in your ability to keep your sense of humor so you don’t go crazy. I am hoping the tube does what it needs to, that Disney plumps up quickly (maybe even before his first b-day) and am glad they could find nothing seriously wrong so far.
Hang in there!

Life without a feeding tube would be a great birthday present for the baby.

Still praying for your little boy. He is adorable! Hang in there, mom and dad. Blessings to you always!
Oh, DF!!! So sorry! This reminds me of when my little bridgy had to wear those arm things to keep from pulling out her iv. she had a four-day stay in the hospital when she was 6 weeks old. prayers for little disney and you and his momma!

Our baby is gifted. He manged to pull out his feeding tube even with the arm restraints.
He is such a cutie…. feeding tube, modesty patch and all. Absolutely adorable. He’s getting what he needs and that’s all that’s important right now. You’ll always remember it but at least he never will. hope everything is getting better.
He is truly adorable! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I hope is plumps up soon and can be without the tube.
i see his sparkling bright eyes filled with hope. his doing alright. anyway i see a documentary about children on t.v and even ask with my own general doctor. they said that not all babies want to eat accordingly in time, specially when they are tired they want to sleep alone. but to make sure the baby will not dehyrated and had enough nutrients they add to put a tube so parents has no hassle to feed. hoping next time more better.
sorry i forget to tell congrats! for the natal day of disney wow he is turning 9 months.
wishing a goodhealth!
