Well, I officially weaned off the pump earlier this week. It's been a little emotional, but I'm doing better now. Gabe's pediatrician gave us some free samples of some colic formula to try and see how he does with it. It was a bit crazy at first since he's been so used to my breast milk, but now he's gulping it down just like he was with my milk! Not any spit up issues either, so he's definitely doing really well on this hypoallergenic formula. The doctor said to come by his office whenever we run low since he has so many samples and this type of formula is expensive! So free formula for a few months til his colic lets up and then hopefully he'll take to the Costco brand or Walmart brand! And it's been almost a whole week since a major all day crying episode so we're hoping he'll be out of this colic phase by four months!! Just in time for my birthday!
That would be a wonderful birthday present! I can't wait to hang out with Gabe next weekend!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new formula! Sounds like it's already working pretty well.
ReplyDeleteHope it keeps on getting better for him and you guys. We used the Target brand of formula, soooo much cheaper than main brands.
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you! It is nice to know that things are getting better. No wonder that God made children so cute so we have something to look forward to despite all challenges…
