arrg, so many things, so little time until the terrors wake up! First, let me say switching Collin to cow milk was a breeze~the hardest part is keeping up with his intake (he drinks ALOT). Now then, there's Owen..... First he needed soy formula to keep his gas and fussiness to a minimum. The doc said that since he tolerated breast milk he should be fine with cow milk, so we gave him fully leaded cow milk. The poop that was the color of cow milk was alarming, but the screaming an hour before and 20 minutes afterwards, not acceptable. Back on the formula until the doctor opened on Monday. Meanwhile, mom did research. Did you know most of the world is lactose intolerant? Silly caucasian American, we forget we're the minority! 15% of caucasions are intolerant while 80% of....asian, mediteranian, middle eastern, etc are lactose intolerant. Not places you consider milk countries~think about it....so, then comes....If a breastfed baby is lactose intolerant, what is the mom to do? Follow a lactose free diet! Guess who really doesn't drink milk, and tries to keep dairy to 1 yogurt a day? yep, yours truly.
Where's this going? Owen has now been on soymilk for 4 days. Poop is back to normal brownish/green, crying is minimal, he's happy. So why am I still typing about this? Oh, the look of horror on my brother's face when a gunshot went off 2 feet from him near the floor, a retort accentuated by a giggle of happiness and a look of pride by Owen. Then the smell hit poor Eric (sorry, I have to stop to snicker) and I got the dirties look! I think he actually thinks I've been giving him rotten garbage to eat! Wow, the Owen's farts STINK!!!!! Arg! I hear fussing. Maybe more later.
