Tomorrow we'll be caving in and taking Victor to the doctor. We'll be discussing his formula. He only gets one bottle a day on average, some days two, some days none. But he's not taking it so well. We have a strong incling that he can't handle dairy. Looking back, I believe Eve was too and that's why she was such a hard baby. She has eczema, and it only flares up when she drinks a lot of milk. And Victor is starting the crying fits Eve used to have, and has a slight "rash" on a part of his cheek. He's had some "poo" issues. He also started spitting up in the last couple of weeks, which he had never done unless he ate way too much. Last night I ate a lot of cheese, and this morning, he pretty much spit up all he drank. :o( I called the doc today, and she said to put him on a lactose-free formula for a week, and if things don't get better, she'd need to see him. Well, that's the formula he's been on, except for one day when we ran out and we used a different sample. So she wants to see him.
Do you have any idea what it's going to be like for me to not be able to eat dairy! I'm from WISCONSIN! But, it's probably a blessing in disguise, like everything is! So we'll keep you updated.
