Enfamil A.R. to the rescue


Monday we took Aiden to the doctor because he was still crying constantly and not sleeping.  The doctor said that he felt he had reflux and took him off the Alimentum, which was the third formula we had tried.  He said the Alimentum was the worst formula that he could be on if he had reflux because it is so thin.  The doctor gave us some samples of Enfamil A.R. and told us to call him back today and let him know whether there was an improvement or not.

The first night he cried for 2 hours (down from 3-6) and then slept for a 6 hour stretch.  I was thrilled but was skeptical.  The second night he didn't cry at all and slept for a 5 hour stretch.. hey still better than before and i was willing to take it! Last night he didn't cry at all and slept from 11pm-7:30am straight!!!!

I am amazed! I'm still scared its a total fluke but we are keeping him on the Enfamil!

I called the doctor and told him he is doing 150x better, he isn't crying, he is able to poop and he is finally sleeping again!  The doctor tried to petition to WIC to get it covered but WIC refuses to cover this brand of formula so we have to rely on the doctor's office giving us samples and hoping and praying that the walmart brand that is compared to the Enfamil AR is the same and works as good considering it is almost half the price ($17 for a 24oz can compared to $16 for a 12.8oz can)..

I loved the parents choice lactose free better than any other brand! When Evan needed it, we used that one. FX it will work for y'all!
