Thanks for the encouraging words everyone...they are greatly appreciated. I'm certainly no hero...I am just absolutely and positively in LOVE with this breed and this little wee one!!! And, I am happy to report, that after putting a couple of drops of oil in his bottle and mixing in a bit of the Esbilac, he poo'd this morning a bit easier. Didn't take near the rubbing time that is has been. It felt a bit softer as well. I mixed up more of the formula this am so we'll see how today goes.
This morning, he was absoutely precious!!! After he drank and got his belly full, he crawled in the crook of my arm and actually started playing with my fingers! Then he flipped over on his back, still in the crook of my arm and continued to play with me, mouthing my fingers. My heart melted into a puddle. I REALLY wish there had been someone awake to take a video of it. He did that for about 5 mins. then promptly crawled up under my neck and went to sleep. I couldn't move and just listened to him dream! What a sweetie he is.
Thanks again everyone and Yorkiemom1, thank you so much for that post. If he doesn't start gaining at a rate that I am happy with, I will definitely try that recipe
