Kazaraz - i know with bf the milk rash is caused by the hormones that get passed from mother to baby, but with formula it can be a form of eczema, which it kind of sounds like cause its dry and looks irritated, and some creams will make it worse. my niece had it bad and dr suggested to try changing formula and using a topical cream, but paw paw ointment is great place to start cause i know it works well on my eczema when its not to bad, but if it doesnt help prob ask a doc. a good tip my sis also got was to always have some milk left in the bottle that way you know they are taking what they want, it really helped keep her little one settled for longer, she kept a top up bottle of formula in the fridge to add the little extra she wanted instead of making a whole extra scoop and throwing to much out.
chloes fantastic 7 hr sleeps at night have given way to 4 hours feeds again, probably a growth spurt so i am hoping it goes back to 7hrs again soon but she is feeding like a trooper and is down to under 10 mintues so no sleep really lost, i pick her up lay back in bed put her on and doze back off. her reflux is a million times better so she is sleeping really well but still catnapping during the day and cluster feeding in the evenings.
we got some pro photos done on Friday and i love them, now i just have to pick which ones i want to get printed, i only get 2 free for doing the shoot for her cause its promotional work for her new website. if anyone is in the brissie area i highly recommend her.
