Soy formula...
About a week ago we switched Aidan to soy formula due to reflux. He has what is called happy spitter reflux. Which means he spits up ALOT but is overall happy and is not losing weight. I mean he was spitting up around 20 times a day and I was doing lots of laundry. So we took him to see Dr. Farley. He said Aidan definitely is not having failure to thrive...lol yeah since he weighs 18lbs 9oz lol. So we are trying different formula and so far it seems to be helping. That and putting a wedge under his mattress to elevate him some. My only complaints are that the soy formula smells way worse than regular formula! And the soy constipates the poor boy. But we will keep at it and hope it continues to help.

Juliet has the same problem, she is happy & growing fine so they don't want to medicate her but man alive, she spits up several times after each feeding. Honestly I'm surprised she is gaining weight, it seems like she spits up even more than she ate. Hopefully she'll grow out of it eventually.
