What else can you do? <br /><br />I hope the test results come back with positive results.

Talk about heart break (for me). We went through a lot of different kinds of milk (including rice, which did nothing but constipate him, and multiple kinds of organic formula, which he spit up as soon as he swallowed), and finally found what he would drink (and he thrived on): coconut milk (I like it, too!). So Delicious brand lives up to it's name. Maybe it's worth looking into?<br /><br />Hope the results help you figure out what's going on!Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721955701353209473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30938531.post-4514527292422802382010-04-13T14:18:21.175-07:002010-04-13T14:18:21.175-07:00Thanks, Marit!

My pediatrician was just telling me that she's giving her son hemp milk, and my mom used to make us almond milk. Of course, you can make milk out of virtually any seed or nut unless he's allergic to that, too. Feeling for you. Hope the test results will at least be enlightening, so you can do what's best for your boy.Maritnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30938531.post-34181850171493609052010-04-13T13:01:46.532-07:002010-04-13T13:01:46.532-07:00You're right about warning about mommy guilt. ...You're right about warning about mommy guilt.

I was only able to breastfeed for a month. The questions you're asking yourself sound just like what I would put myself through! It is so easy to wonder and second guess and fear that you caused it somehow. But you never know why and it most likely has nothing to do with anything you did. Actually, I would bet money that you did nothing to cause it if we could find out the reason. Allergies are crazy!! Anyways, glad that you're over half way on the test. Hope you can get some answers! And don't worry too much about weaning - I kept my boy on Elecare well into his first year and I thought that worked great. As with EVERYTHING in mommyhood, that's just my opinion and it's up to you! :)Kristy @Loveandblasphemyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634987114195614214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30938531.post-35391476925307522462010-04-13T10:45:59.793-07:002010-04-13T10:45:59.793-07:00Stop it.
