Vaughan has had some colic - so the doctor says. It started the middle of April and for a while she cried for an hour or so every night. Then I noticed that whenever I gave her formula (if I was in a pinch and couldn't breastfeed her) the next day or so she would be terribly constipated and pretty much miserable. So no more formula! Two weeks after I stopped giving her formula she started getting constipated again and would cry and cry like her stomach was really hurting - gas pains? She was constipated all day and was acting so miserable. It was heartbreaking. So I called the nurse and she told me to cut dairy out of my diet. Since I have done that she has been SO MUCH happier!! It makes total sense after I thought about it. She couldn't handle the formula, obviously because of the milk protein and iron, so OBVIOUSLY she will not be able to handle dairy in my milk! I felt AWFUL for making her feel that way. We were at the doctor on Friday the 6th. She's gaining weight just fine (now is 12 lbs 7 oz) and seems to be feeling better and better every day. Once in a while I will totally forget and accidently eat dairy and she will let me know! I have been searching for snacks to eat that are good for me and good for her. If you can think of any let me know. I already have my nuts and dried fruits - my trail mix - which I love. And of course berries, apples and bananas, but I need some more ideas for work snacks. Do I have to drink my coffee black now!? Brett bought me Silk. I am worried that she will not be able to digest the soy too. Should I be worried?
