She started out on Enfamil A+. I switched her to Similac Advance because I had a sample and my friend swears by it. Big mistake! It was harder for her to digest and the cramping was so much worse. So, the doc recommended Nestle Goodstart. That's when the projectile vomiting began...a nightmare. After an ultrasound at CHEO to check out her pyloras, I then tried Enfamil A+ Thickened (at the doc's suggestion) hoping that the weight of it would help it stay down in her belly. It helped a little. In the end, I put her back on Enfamil A+ and she did just fine. I never should have switched her in the first place. Some babies just have to go through a few weeks/months of colic. You deal with it as awful as it is and hope it's over soon. Good luck!<br />TammyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753835.post-51174339815539317192009-09-13T21:27:42.188-04:002009-09-13T21:27:42.188-04:00I hope that the feeding starts to go better soon. ...I hope that the feeding starts to go better soon. It must be so hard for you to pace the house with a fussy little one. <br /><br />When my guys would refuse the breast we were also not keen on forcing. I would haul off my shirt (after closing the drapes) and put him in a carrier with his face right in line with my ladies. They learned to love the intoxicating smell. Eventually, they would go back to it for sustenance. <br /><br />It is kind of like coming through the door and smelling fresh bread. You didn't have any inclination towards bread, but now you really want it since it smells so good!<br /><br />mmmm, now I want bread!!Sajehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12423534794097828771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753835.post-37449220811939490522009-09-13T11:10:45.188-04:002009-09-13T11:10:45.188-04:00Aw, she looks like a little doll!

You will have more milk than you can handle in 24-48 hours, so don't worry about that.<br /><br />I can only suggest keeping on with attempting the breast here and there, not forcing it, but if you can find a way not to use the bottle at all, or to even use a bottle that makes her have to suck and work the facial muscles a lot it might help. The easy lie back and pour it down my throat version can make it hard to switch to the boob.<br /><br />Syringing sometimes could be good? Anyway, keep on trying, you are doing well, and she looks wonderful!Aureliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691032415028867902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753835.post-76993585265703900352009-09-12T09:16:08.347-04:002009-09-12T09:16:08.347-04:00K - having just been through this with Jack, I hav...K - having just been through this with Jack, I have a few suggestions. I know this is total ass-vice but hey, you are more than welcome to ignore it.<br /><br />We had to switch Jack to Nestle Goodstart formula as it has the milk proteins partially broken down, so it was much easier for him to digest. That took care of a lot of his gas.<br /><br />Second thing was our paediatrician suggested these drops called "BioGaia". They are a probiotic drop that has the bacteria that babies are sometime lacking in their digestive system. We give Jack five drops a day and it's made him a much happier baby. These drops are very well researched and available at Shoppers' Drug Mart among other places. check them out online and you'll see what I mean. I swear by these drops and have even taken them myself when my stomach is upset - and they work!<br /><br />My only other comment is this: gripe water usually contains sodium bicarbonate. Giving a baby gripe water can change the pH level of their little bodies. So be careful.<br /><br />Glad to see that Petite is growing well. She's just so pretty!LadyofAvalon56https://www.blogger.com/profile/12486252994725146208noreply@blogger.com
