I was so excited to have something that would stop Rose's suffering. Not only would she be able to keep her food down, but hopefully it would help with her fussiness. We prepared the 6 p.m. bottles and David fed her.
From the moment David finished the bottle to about 2 hours later, that baby cried like we were torturing her. Her face was red and she just screamed. Nothing could calm her. I've never felt so helpless or guilty. I couldn't believe that I fed her something that would cause that kind of reaction. I walked her, rocked her, swaddled her, sang to her and did anything else I could think of. I was the one who was crying after the 2nd hour. I don't know how people deal with babies with colic. This was unbearable. She finally fell asleep and we went back to the regular formula. I'd rather deal with spit up than the monster she became after eating that food.
Other than that, we got an appointment for Max to see a specialist in MARCH!
They haven't been sleeping as long at night again, but not any less than they originally did. They are still taking a decent a.m. nap.
We've had some visitors this week and all help is appreciated!!! For some reason, I haven't been taking many pictures. So sorry. I'll post those I did take this week, but they have no rhyme or reason.

I can totally relate! I still remember crying on the phone with my mom cuz I thought I was doing it all wrong, and she would know the magic answer. We do the best we can. You're a good momma Jess.
