Allergies

Monday morning I called the Pediatrician and told him about Jake. Jake has been giving me such a heart attack with worry since his 20 week ultrasound. This time it is not about his heart or lungs, but allergies (we assume).

Jake has been projectile vomiting up his bottles (seriously the whole thing). It's gotten worse and worse over the last couple weeks. I was told to bring Jake in for an appointment that day.

At the appointment Jake was looked over and weighed. He is a healthy boy at 10 pounds 15 ounces! There was nothing that showed a warning on what was going on. 

The conclusion finally came to switch formulas. Jake is lactose intolerant! We switched him over to soy formula on a test run. If soy didn't work we would move to spit up formula, which Jake had nothing to do with (he wouldn't eat any of it) so we switched back to soy (4th type of formula he has been on). Jake is also on some meds to help with what may be really bad acid reflux.

One week later and Jake is finally starting to keep the soy down more. All week I have been concerned about dehydration. Jake has been spitting up everything and exploding down at the other end, poor little guy. Let's hope we can continue to see improvement and stop all these trials in our way of a healthy happy baby boy!
