My now 3yr old was on it and transitioned to whole milk with no problem. <BR/><BR/>My first child was on Nutramigen (sp?) or as my husband called it "liquid gold". Now that we think back we should have just put her on lactose free as well!!<BR/><BR/>PS - didn't breastfeed either of mine and they are very healthy children, My first grader hasn't missed a day of school yet!!

I hope you find an answer! Kendra gets fussy but it's never all day, you must be so tired. <BR/><BR/>Hang in there. The good news about fussiness and colic is that it isn't permanent, and it does get better around 3-4 months, which sounds like forever but one day it will seem like the time has flown by. I'm praying for you all.katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683629612430650812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744432824241164589.post-18472655090172834792008-02-10T15:19:00.000-06:002008-02-10T15:19:00.000-06:00Courtney, John sounds like he's going through exac...Courtney, <BR/><BR/>John sounds like he's going through exactly what we went through with Finley with reflux and/or colic. The back arching, the excessive spitting up, and the crying, crying, crying.... The first reflux meds we were on didn't seem like they helped at all, but we switched about a month ago, and he's finally(!) getting a little better. Let me know if you want to discuss/vent...I've done endless amounts of research looking for a solution. Seems to be more common in preemies and low birthweight babies. And don't second guess yourself about your decision to stop breastfeeding....Finley's breastfed and he still had/has all this too. It's no fun, but it really does get better eventually.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692156504454310219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744432824241164589.post-83108561128894228372008-02-10T14:36:00.000-06:002008-02-10T14:36:00.000-06:00http://askdrsears.com/html/5/T051300.asp Check out...http://askdrsears.com/html/5/T051300.asp <BR/>Check out this website. Colic is not just a night time event or even just a one time event. Some days it can be all day except for a few hours. Ansley had it morning and then the evening some days and then others just the evening. We tried Reflux meds too but it didn't work. Don't feel guilty about not breastfeeding. Even breastfed babies do this. It is most likely just because he was early. Anyways, the website will give you some information into not only colic, but fussiness in general.Jenny Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03872449277477013251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744432824241164589.post-74707555073322252822008-02-10T11:47:00.000-06:002008-02-10T11:47:00.000-06:00Courtney, please do not second guess your decision...Courtney, please do not second guess your decision to stop breast feeding. There is a variety of formula that you can try so don't let that get you down - even though screaming babies are not calming! ;-) Have you tried things like the swing, bath, etc. to calm John down? You might put just a tiny bit of corn syrup in Brandon's bottle to see if that will help him poop. I have seen it work wonders! Hang in there - this will only last for a short time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
