Hey everyone...

We did not give Ava any formula last night because she was so miserable with her reflux and what not that I didn't want to start something new. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to know the effect of the formula because her refulx was so bad. She was up ALL night. I felt so bad for her. She finally went down at 8:40 this morning and is still sleeping, so when she wakes up, I'm going to try the similac. I opened one of those single serving packets that I had, so this way if she doesn't react well to it, I can just give away the cans I have of it. I added a little over an ounce of the formula to some BM, so we'll see how that goes.
Thanks so much for all the advice. I'm going to try this formula, then the soy and if that doesn't work, I'm going straight to a specialist. I'm not going to play around with what is going into her body, she already is suffering enough from her reflux and what not.
Thanks so much again

If I knew how to insert a quote I would put what Pharmcat said. My old ped. thought DS had a milk allergy when I switched from breastmilk to formula although my gut told me he didnt. He was fussy with regular similac but I think it was because his body wasn't able to digest the formula as easily and it will take about 2-3 days. I switched him soy which he did still fuss on in the beginning but not as much. He is now on anothe brand that is milk based and we have had no problems at all.
