A New Baby...

Well, as of yesterday at 1am, Rowan has been getting Similac Isomil (Soy Formula), and she truly has been quite a different baby! In a good way of course. I hate to say it this soon, but I think that has been the ultimate fix, so far anyway.

She can occassionally have fussy times during the day, but they are at least cut in half. She will take longer naps during the day than she was taking, she has fallen asleep in her bouncy seat the last two days, she has fallen asleep in the swing, she doesn't need to be constantly bounced or rocked to get her quiet after a feeding, and doesn't scream when you take the bottle out of her mouth. Now don't get me wrong, she isn't the perfect baby, but we have made many strides.

Here are a few pics of her new happenings and a video too...

She has also been more interactive with us and enjoys her tummy time and play mats more than usual.

HEY, I think I recognize a quilt! Nice and cushy when she drops her head! I'm so happy she's a happier baby!

I hope that does the trick for you. Changing to lactofree formula changed Mason dramatically for the better too. It's hard to really enjoy them when they are so fussy all the time.

Wow....such a happy baby now! Adorable pics and video!

P.S. That tummy time toy was one of Kieran's favorite too. Fun....yes. annoying music....YES. ;-)

hip-hip-hooray for soy! (and no non breast feeding guilt allowed for you mama!) I'm sooooo glad that you've found something that works well for you.

Rowan just couldn't get any cuter, and I just love her "hair". haha, welcome to our bald world!
