We are still waiting on an appointment for a new GI, but Emily's appointment with our new pediatrician went well yesterday. She is now between the 5-10th percentile!
I was reading posts on my Neocate group, and I read about a child who cannot tolerate the emulsifier in yellow label Neocate infant. That just crushed me, as silly as that sounds. No matter which way they turn, the company will be excluding a small population of babies who cannot tolerate one or the other. I had plans of getting all Neocate parents to write in saying that they would give up the "convenience" factor if it meant that other babies could tolerate the formula again. But, now having read about this baby today, I not going to do it. In effect, a change would be beneficial to Emily, but detrimental to this other baby. There is no winning here. Now, our only hope is finding out what is causing all of this and hopefully treating it.
This was a lot to take in this morning, and I haven't even had my coffee to soften the blow.
