6 days in a row!!


If you have ever had a child who suffered with stomach problems you understand how exciting it is to go 6 days/nights in a row without a stomach ache. I can honestly say I have never had this much sleep since she was born.
I went to my Family doc the other day, and told him about Reese's belly trouble. He told me the reason her ped. will not do anything about her belly till she is 2 is because that is the earliest they can do allergy testing,( the ped kept telling me to wait it out...... how long has he gone w/out sleep??)
So my doc said to try this formula. It can help get rid of parasites, or if the belly needs to heal for some reason it is so gentle it helps it out. ,,, OK honestly whatever.Whatever works I will try and or buy.
I don't know 100% if this is why she is sleeping better, but it is really the only thing we have changed.
My question to my self is why the H--L did I not do this 17 months ago.
I thought about it, but the ped said , nah,,, it won't make that much difference. I do Love her ped, don't get me wrong, I think his children never had belly aches, or he would understand more. Right????

Nick was really sensitive to formula too. It took forever to find the right one to help him to sleep all night, but when he did it was wonderful. Hope you found the right combo.

Emily,

Can Reese drink regular milk?

No, she has been on soy when she turned one. I used the Gentlease formula as an infant.
I have no clue why her belly is like it is.
