Screams, Farts, & Constipation, Oh My!

So, after 3 months of dealing with the constant screaming & gassy-ness of my beautiful 3 month old baby, we figured out that it wasnt ME that was broken...it was her...LOL (not literly)

I couldnt bare to hear her screams of frustration and constant farts like a grown man any longer. So I took her to the doctor who immidetley assesd her and switched her to Soy formula! Because apparently, my little peanut has a milk allergy. Which would make complete sense as to why I breastfeeding was not going well and why her forumla was giving her gas! MILK! (I for one shouldnt drink milk because it goes through me)

She got this formula on tuesday and he said that it would take a couple days to see if this is better because we have to wait for the other formula to get out of her system. I'll be damned if we didnt see an instant reaction! She didnt scream her head off after eating, and when I put her on my shoulder to burp her, she burped instantly instead of fighting for a burp! She was smiling and happy! Amazing.

Then the wednesday came and thats when we found out that she cant poop!! So I quickly have been giving her prune juice (by the advice of her doctor--1oz. prune juice, 3oz of water to make a 4oz bottle of formula!) Girl was tryin so hard to poop but only little bits where coming out...and you can tell it was hurting her! :( She finally went on thursday but I still think she is trying to go!

And let me tell you, I think this girl is making up for lost time, because she is sleeping more now than she did when she was born. So all that time of being filled with gas and fighting her sleep had to have been related somehow because she is CONSTANTLY sleeping! And she has slept through the night for 2 days in a row now! LOVE IT!
