Week 5

What an awful week!!! Blaine was getting more and more fussy so we switched formula to GentleEase to help with the gas and fussing. Well this did nothing, so I called the ped and they said to switch him to Soy formula. Well things got even worse after that. He screamed around the clock and was so uncomfortable. On Monday at about 2 AM he had bloody mucous in his diaper. At this point I knew his problem was more than just gas, we had a problem on out hands!! So that morning when the ped office opened, I called and made an appointment. After some talking and an examination of my now 12 lb 3 oz baby, the Dr. determined he had a milk AND soy intolerance! GREAT. So he gave us some samples of formula that must be made of gold because of the price of it. But after the first bottle Blaine was like a new baby, no fussing, no gas!! It was wonderful!! This formula is $35 a can though!! YIKES. So I called Enfamil and got some coupons from them to help with the cost of it. It is so worth the price though, because it has made a world of difference with Blaine!! He eats, sleeps, and poops so much better! :)
