I wanted to update again. Eli is eating GREAT. It turns out, as I've observed, the formula was actually the problem. Since it has all the nutrition as a full meal, why would he have the urge to eat food when he knows he has formula that does the same thing and he's used to it? Now that he's been drinking only milk for the last few days, he's been eating more and more and more. It's really a drastic turn around. I still give him a bottle of formula right before bed just to be safe, and also to make sure he's held over for the night with nutrition, but other than that he only gets milk. He's been eating quite a bit during every meal, and snacking in between every now and again too. I'm going to start him on the cup tomorrow, all but one bottle at night. I'll probably stop the night bottle maybe in a week or two. I don't expect a big fight by the looks of it, but you never know so wish me luck!
