After a visit to the specialist for coco then a visit back to our doctor we have determined we need to completely cut all dairy products for little coco for a week. After this period of time then we can try and narrow down what is causing her problem. Specialist lady said that most the time if it is dairy allergy that includes soy milk so it is best to stop all.
This is a very sensitive deal as taking formula away form a baby is not a common practice. Even for a week during such an important development process can be detrimental to there well being in the future. Plus its hard for a baby as they have had this there whole life and your just taking it away. Plus its tough work for mommy hehe. Just ask amy the crap she is trying to go through to figure out what to feed her. Oh and the work of trying to clean up a baby that young after feeding.... Then there is of course the fact she has twins so after this she has to bottle feed the other baby hehe..
It has made for an interesting time a lot of work and a bit fussy baby as we are on day 2 of this no formula. If we do determine it is a milk allergy there is a special formula for sale that is extremely costly. We do not know how much yet but we were told to go and beg for a sample to see if the babies would eat it as buying a whole one and wasting would be a tragedy!
Good news though if she is diagnosed then we will get assistance from health care in buying this. Thank god for that as we are getting low on the coinage these days.
