And I can't tell you how priveleged I felt to be one of those emergency calls (and glad that you finally got ahold of me!).<br><br>Secondly, Wendy's comment is not only totally funny, but totally right! It's so fun dressing a girl - I don't blame you at all! Plus I liked seeing her in her little wardrobe changes. My favorite were the cargo jeans. Leah is quite the fashionista!Lauren Horsleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15641954904539891349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213499219669709454.post-28490408929641308912009-04-06T09:18:00.000-07:002009-04-06T09:18:00.000-07:00I sure hope this works for you!!

It took us over a month to finally convince a doctor there was some thing wrong. After two months we finally enjoyed our new born.<br>I know the crying, I know the daily Q-tip suppositories (just to get her to poop) I know the look of an unhappy newborn in pain.<br>I remember switching to soy formula, which unfortunately only made her worse but we finally got her on a formula called "Nutramagin" (some thing like that)only cost us $18 a can (the small cans) and just like you experienced, after just one or two bottles of the new stuff she was so happy. She finally pooped on her own and was a lot less fussy, slept better through the night. We kept her on that until she was almost one. <br>Any way lyns as I have been reading your updates of the good and the bad of little Leah I totally remember what it was like. I really understand what you are going through because I was once there. I'm so glad to hear that she is doing better and I hope it is not just a fluke thing.<br>You are a great Momma!

Its funny cause when I found out Bryson had a milk allergy I felt like a horrible mother for not nursing but you know the minute he got put on the bottle he was happier, I was happier and we all got the sleep we needed! And you know once I got over my "yes my baby is bottle fed" phobia it was fine and you know I think Bryson is turning out just fine!

And you are right, it is hard sometimes to realize that this is just as miserable for them as it is for you. I wil tell you one thing that has helped us: Gas drops. Have you done them? Dave is convinced that you can't OD on them, but they sure hep at least for a while. My other boys were such good babies, so this has been a challenge for me to have a grumpy baby, but a lot of women that I have talked to say that screaming and sleepless nights are totally normal for most kids until about 3 months. Maybe no comfort in that, and hopefully the new formula and bottle help, but unil this all passes, thank Heaven for tender mercies!<br>KateMills Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917753455642207801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213499219669709454.post-32180810466069590722009-04-03T11:07:00.000-07:002009-04-03T11:07:00.000-07:00Yeah Leah!!
