Kennedy and I didn't get any sleep last night because I started her on a different type of Similac at bedtime. I am kind of going through what was given to me, and hoping that one of them works...and this type was Similac Soy with iron. She absolutely hated it, and boy did we have an interesting night. That little girl was so upset with having to eat the soy formula, she spit it out everywhere, she threw up, we spilled it on the bed, you name it...it probably happened last night. We were both so tired, but she wouldn't sleep because she wanted something different to eat.
At 7 this morning I pumped and got over 2 ounces, and that is the most I have ever gotten in one pump. Thank God for Reglan, I cannot tell you how wonderful that little tiny pill is for my breast milk. I wish the all natural stuff worked for me, but unfortunately it did not. My milk would have dried up if it weren't for the Reglan, and I am thankful for having it to get milk for Kennedy. I put the milk in a bottle for her and she sucked it down this morning and fell back asleep. I hung out with Kaylee for a little while and then told her I was going to go back to sleep too. Kennedy and I slept until 10:30, and that is better than nothing.
I have a little bit of the regular Similac Advanced left over, just enough to last us another day or so. Mariah also has a small can of Enfamil Lipil that she cannot use with Ava, so I picked it up from her house tonight to use. My pediatrician said that Enfamil Lipil and Similac Advanced are very similar and it wouldn't hurt her to try both to see if she preferred one over the other. Mariah also gave me a Parents Choice can...so I will try that after the Enfamil is gone next week. In my opinion, I don't think I will stick with the Enfamil because she spits out a lot of it. The Similac gave her diarrhea, so I will switch brands to see if the Parents Choice works better. I hear that the Parents Choice is cheaper too...so that would be great if we could find a type that she likes. I am pumping enough milk now that allows Kennedy to have two breastmilk bottles a day too. If my milk continues to increase, I can take her off of formula all together!! That will be a little while if that can happen though.
I have pitched trash bag after trash bag from the office...and it still isn't done. Larry came home a few hours earlier than planned, and the office wasn't done. I don't even think he could tell I did anything in the room...lol. He was crabby when he got home, so that made me even more upset that the house wasn't clean. I just tried to avoid him until he got over his little mood, and then we were fine. I just think all the driving was getting to him from coming back from the academy.
