May I ask why you are switching to Goodstart so soon? Are you doubting whether she truly has MSPI? Most babies do not outgrow their intolerances until 12 months (give or take). I would definitely agree that Goodstart tastes and smells MUCH better though!
With Sarah’s MSPI, fussiness was really the only indicator. She never had bloody stools or eczema or any other obvious reaction to the milk proteins. Was Teagan fussy at all on the nutramigen or did this just start with Goodstart?Maybe give the Goodstart a little longer and if the fussiness continues, gets worse, or doesn’t seem to be improving then I’d switch back.GOOD LUCK!The ped said it is her reflux acting up, it apparently gets worse at 3 months? We need to add rice cereal to her bottles again but not enough to give her issues with the DGE. Also, it can’t be an issue with the formula because she has no bloody poop or rash. So I guess we’ll keep going and see what happens!!!
Thanks!
Is the ped willing to increase her prevacid dose if he knows it is reflux acting up? 4-7 months is *generally* the worst time for reflux! (Although EVERY DAY feels like the worst when you’re in the middle of it!
)My daughter NEVER had bloody poop or rashes either but still required alimentum (same as nutramigen).I like Jill’s idea of flavoring the nutramigen if you go that route. Good luck!If he says her reflux is acting up, then DEF use it to her (and your) advantage for a med increase!!!!
I hope you don’t have disastrous results with adding rice cereal back in. I just know that grains are so hard for them to digest even without delayed gastric emptying! Good luck sweetie. Let us know how she is doing!
