Soy Formula (3/19/12)

After our last well baby visit the pediatrician thought maybe Henry was having issues with lactose in my diet. Since Henry hadn’t gained a lot of weight and has been extremely fussy it was worth a shot at eliminating dairy from my diet. Henry went on soy formula for a day and a half while I stopped eating dairy to get it out of my system. He has been back on breast milk ever since and id doing much better. If only the doctor had recommended this 11 weeks ago we might have saved ourselves a bit of sanity! Henry is also getting gas drops with each feeding to make sure we get most of the gas bubbles up. That seems to be helping too. Henry is a much happier baby and will actually sit in a bouncer or on the floor playing for a few minutes at a time without having a major meltdown. What a difference we have seen over the past week!
