Not Pleased

Its true. I am not pleased with the Elecare at this point. And quite frankly its progressing to a point that I don't think this will work for her without modifications being made.

Lucy's reflux has just gotten SO bad since starting on the Elecare and shes been complaining regularly that her stomach hurts. It was bad on Monday and she was complaining so much that for her overnight feeding I cranked her rate down a bit. She woke up and still seemed to have some mild reflux going on but had improved so I decided to hold her at that rate and see where we ended up today. She did much better reflux wise but complained throughout the day that her belly hurt and was really really whiney.

I have no idea where to go from here. I left a message for our GI and I hope he gets back to us soon. I don't know if hes going to want to stick it out with the Elecare, switch to a GJ, add pain medication, or if he'll just want to flat out move onto the next formula trial. I also worry that he'll say, "Well, this is as good as it gets for her."

I'm worried.

I have Lucy scheduled for a weight check with our pediatrician Dr. B tomorrow. I am hoping to get a chance to run our latest situation by her and see if she has an insight to offer. Dr. B is usually our "go to" lady and we don't know where we would be without her!
