Update
Chloe` does not have Pyloric Stinosis! I am so glad she doesn't have to have surgery. Her jaundice was still a concern so they wanted to put her on formula for 3 days since they believe it is breast milk induced as well as test to see how bad her reflux situation has become. She hasn't been spitting up as much and there has been no projectile vomiting but...she is terribly constipated from the formula and rice cereal mix they had her go on. Now I have a screaming baby who is in pain. (not all the time thankfully, just when she needs to "go") So, after 24 hrs of formula (which was so hard for me to do! I believe 100% that "breast is best" and formula...well, I'll save that soap box for another time...) she is back to mommy's milk. My mission now is to find out what foods are bothering her. I went through this with my other girls. They didn't have it as bad but they were sensitive to what I was eating. I am going to cut out dairy (which we all ready do for the most part), corn, and wheat as well as cut back on sugars (because of her thrush). I may have to make that list longer if that doesn't do the trick, adding eggs and nuts and other possible allergy related foods. That takes a major chunk out of the menue but is so worth it to have a happy healthy baby. Regarding the jaundice I am going to try some other options with a little more gusto since I wasn't aware that it was a real issue until the other day. She is gaining weight and smiled a real smile for the first time today!!! She is so special. I love my little Chloe` Avynle`! My beautiful and creative sister took some pictures of Chloe` today :o) I'll post them when they are ready.
