Lis - I'm so happy for you that Elena is doing so well on the formula. Its such a relief to see them improve isn't it. Izzy has been a new baby. She is now having morning and afternoon naps (completely unheard of!!) and yesterday I sat in a cafe with a girlfriend having brunch and she lay in her pram dozing on and off when she wasn't looking around and smiling at everyone. I could have sat and cried watching her I was just so relieved. Is the formula you have Elena on a soy? I was told to put Izzy on the Karricare soy and so far so good although it truly stinks when she burps!! Good luck with getting Elena back on some level of BM. I'm really conflicted as to what to do about that - Izzy is just so much better on formula but I really miss breastfeeding (amazing since I didn't think I enjoyed it before I wasn't doing it!!) and I would prefer her to be BF if possible. Will see what the paediatrician says on Thursday about doing something along the lines of what you're doing- I'm just terrified I'll send her back to where she was and I never want to see her like that again.

Tan - poor little Izzy's bottom. Hopefully its nothing serious and is fixed up soon - LOL at the shooting poo though!

Hi to everyone else. I hope all you mums and bubbies are enjoying the weekend - beautiful weather here.
