Doctor's Visit

Owen went to the doctor yesterday. He had his 2 month shots. I have a little trooper on my hands. He only cried for about 30 seconds and mommy was waiting with a bottle which soothed him immediately. (I am not looking forward to the days where he knows what is coming...eesh) He came home and slept for a few hours and then I put him to bed around 8pm. We had a pretty good night. However, I was making coffee at 4:30 am with a baby in my arms. Early to bed early to rise I suppose. He went back to sleep around 6am and is still sleeping.

Back to the doctor's visit- Dr. Treece said he was looking good, BUT...he is in fact allergic to Nutramigen. Apparently there is a small trace of soy oil in that formula and Owen's sensitive little belly picked up on it. (I am going to return all of our unopened cans and get diapers. Thank you to everyone who bought us Nutramigen.) So what is he on now you ask? (I am so glad you asked) Owen is on NEOCATE INFANT. This formula is very expensive at about $35 a can which lasts us 3-4 days. (Also, you can only purchase it online at neocate.com) This formula is amino acid based and has no trace of cow's milk or soy. It is our last resort. You can see the chart below and compare the formulas that we have tried. (Click to enlarge) I have high hopes that this will help our sweet little baby O. 

So if you were wondering..."All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth...and Neocate formula".

Owen's 2 month stats: 

Weight: 9lbs. 14 oz. (I was hoping to reach 10 lbs. but that is ok, he is 15th percentile for weight)

Length: 22 inches (25th percentile for length) 

Owen is the love and joy of my life. He is so precious and sweet. There is really no better feeling than holding him and looking into his eyes. I am so blessed that he is a thriving, growing, and healthy little boy. (Allergies or no allergies)
