Looking back on previous posts, we started J on soy formula Dec 7. It was good for his skin and his overall demeanor (less fussy) but he had trouble with BMs. Apple juice helped with the BMs sometimes. About a week later, Dec 16, we tried Nutrimagen but nixed that after 2 feedings because it gave Jacob stomach issues. It also smelled and tasted disgusting. So we went back to soy & increased his apple juice from 4 to 5 oz.
Just yesterday, even with 5 oz of apple juice, J's BMs were again hard, not soft. A decided that we'd give the regular formula another try last night. This morning, J's skin seems ok, but time will tell if we stick with the regular formula or not. Will J become fussy again? Will his skin break out?
J can make certain decisions for himself - if he's bored or doesn't want to read when you want to read, he'll complain. But when it comes to choosing a formula - choosing between regular BMs (regular formula) and his improved skin (soy formula) - we have to make that decision and there's no right answer…
It's strange to think that we'll be making other decisions for him too…or will we? We tried giving him rice cereal about 2 1/2 weeks ago and he didn't eat too much. J basically decided for himself that he wasn't ready. Last night, we gave him peas (will post a cute picture later), and he loved it. Ate up the whole serving and wanted more! So even though A and I may think we are in control, J is actually in the driver's seat. He just can't drive himself yet.
