Going up

On Friday Ethan's weight was up to 11-15 despite several days of poor eating... Less than 500 ml for the day. Who knows, but more weight is good.

Dr also switched his formula to Alimentum (+lipids), which has proteins more broken down, in hope that he won't be so fussy at feedings. I had a few very depressed hours when I thought I would have to stop eating all dairy. Dr thought it might possibly help if he isn't tolerating dairy, since he still gets my milk mixed with formula. When I called back to clarify a few things he said to forget it and we would just try the new formula first. I'm a fan of only changing one thing anyway, but mostly I'm not sure how I would function with no cheese and yoghurt. What would I eat with no time to find food? I might starve! Not to mention that we wouldn't have been able to use any of the frozen milk. Yikes, I don't know if I could keep up at this point. Whew, crisis averted - for now! The good news is that Ethan seems to be liking his new mix. He has been a little less fussy already.

    That is awesome news- I don't know how you are keeping up anyway! I think you are doing a bang up job- keep up the great work!
