Jess, I bought a plastic tablecloth for $1.50 and taped it to the floor (and up the walls!) under DS's high chair. I pull it off and hose it down on the clothesline! He wont sit still anywhere else, and even in the chair he waves his arms around and bashes on the tray, and I have to hold his hands down with one arm and shovel food in his mouth with the other! He simply cannot be still, even when he's asleep. Ooooh, and dontcha just love the snot trails!?! Combined with the drool from teething and not being able to swallow properly, we're back to bibs full time for the moment. Yuk.
I'm so sorry things aren't working out with the formula and nobody seems to be able to help. Have you posted here on BB? I know there's a section somewhere on formula feeding... It sounds a bit like maybe there's a problem with digesting the milk proteins, not the lactose (it's a different thing). Do you recall any problems for her when you were BF and you had dairy products? I don't know, maybe I'm clutching at straws here. It must be an expensive venture when so much is going to waste if she can't tolerate it. Are you able to get your hands on some sample packs of a soy or goats milk formula?
Abb - wow, you have been busy! congratulations to your parents on being married for 40 years! That's amazing.
You'd never even know Aadi was sick except for the snot and coughing! He's even more boistrous and energetic than usual and it's driving me mental. I'm soo tired and look like crap. I'm hoping I don't get sick too because I'm already suffering hayfever from all the smoke in the air here. Puffy eyes and sneezing... bleuh. There's only so much shopping online I can do to make myself feel better
