So this is the start of day 2 on the new formula. I am cautiously excited to report that she appears to be happier. She took to the new taste right away, but I did have to play with the temperature because she is accustomed to a room temperature drink(was on powder before and now on concentrate). It is nice being able to make the bottles up ahead of time and have them in the fridge. I figured out the perfect amount of time in the microwave to take the chill off and have it almost room temp. 20 sec. *AHHHHHH....NOOOOOO* that was the sounds of the health unit nurses screaming at the fact I am using a microwave...hahaha. I swish it around and test and feed. She is still only taking 2-3 oz at a time, but the big difference is the fact that she is not screaming during feeding. Instead of her symptoms getting worse as the day progressed she was actually feeling happier. Am I to assume it is the lower iron? Who knows. This is pretty thick stuff compared to the old stuff but whatever will work for her. Jack was surprised/relieved when he came home from work to a giggling K-Bear. We had a few outings yesterday. I took her to The Woof Inn to pick a couple of her dogs up from being groomed then we went to the infamous Boardwalk gift shop to see Dorthy(owner, yeah, I have purchased a few things there..lol). She was happy to be out and about. She went to bed with just a couple of ounces and a bowl of oatmeal in her around 9:30pm and slept until 7:45 this am. She is taking in about 20-24 oz of formula and three solid meals now. I guess her milk needs are decreasing due to the solids. I do think that she is losing weight though. Her thighs are starting to thin out. I guess I will see what she weighs as her 6 month shots are next week. I can hardly wait.
We plan to hit the park today if the weather cooperates. She is taking her big 2 hour nap right now.
Remember?
How tiny she was...amazing. If I could just have one day with her that tiny again.
