So the last week we have been trying to figure out what is causing Aiden so much discomfort. Starting last week (at the 2 week mark, which is when colic usually appears) he started getting fussier and fussier at night. At first I assumed it was what Lily went through (a milk protein allergy) and after a call into the doctor and a switch to soy formula for 4 days it was apparent that Soy was not fixing the problem. Another call to the doctor and a switch to a hypo-allergenic formula (Alimentum), which is what Lily was ultimatly put on for her protein allergy and after 3 days the issue was 10x worse.
So I again called the doctor and finally they agreed to see him instead of just telling me to switch his formula over the phone. So we went to the doctor today and the doctor said he thinks it is probably refulx (and possibly some colic on top of it - since the worst of the crying is at night and pretty predictable in times). So now we are trying out Enfamil A.R. (which isn't even covered by wic, but the dr said if it helps he can get us samples and try to help us out).
Hopefully it works, but it would be nice if WIC would pull their heads out of their rear ends and help cover the cost since it would be medically necessary but since they don't have a contract with Enfamil we are out of luck.. I just hope we can work out something. God will provide..
Happy Valentine's Day and a Freebie!
