Hello all – I’ve been posting sporadically for the past couple of
months as it’s been crazy around here lately. Just wanted to give
all of you some hope!! Zach had been doing very well since about
11 months so at his 1 year check up our ped suggested that we start on
whole milk. I was very anxious but it went over great….and he
loved the milk!!! In fact, he
drinks more milk now then he ever did. He is such an active
little guy that I think part of his problem was that he didn’t want to
sit still long enough to drink an 8 ounce bottle. Now that he has
his sippy with him a lot of the time, we are constantly filling it
up!! Our ped suggested that if the milk went over well, to try to
ease off the Prevacid so we had been giving one dose a day for about 3
days and then we stopped all together (kind of by accident, we forgot
to give it to him for 2 days so figured it was a good time to
stop!) So far he has been the same little active guy. We
still seem to have some sleeping issues – he likes to wake up once at
night, take a couple sips of milk and then have us rock him for about
10 minutes but we are trying to take care of that issue as well.Anyway, I hope that you all your little ones are doing well and hopefully will turn the corner soon. Hugs to you all!!!
June 15, 2006 at 7:41 pm #9862AnonymousInactiveTricia, I’m SOOOOOO happy to hear this! That’s awesome with the whole
milk and I’m sure he loves the taste. Marisa is the same way – too
active to sit still for her bottles – she only drinks them if
distracted by the TV or outside in her stroller. Such great news with
the milk and Prevacid and I hope it all continues to go well. Thanks
again with all your food help too.As for the sleeping, just sounds like a habit to me. Have you read
either the Baby Whisperer or Good Night Sleep Tight? Both have some
good gentle ways for weaning night wakings…June 15, 2006 at 9:23 pm #9866AnonymousInactiveTricia,
I’m SO happy to hear the great news. Yes, it does offer some hope that it can get better for the rest of us. Great news about the whole milk- FABULOUS! You have a beautiful little boy and I’m so glad that you can put this past you and move on. I think you have my email, please keep in touch.

June 16, 2006 at 10:41 pm #9952AnonymousInactiveThanks guys………Karen, I do have the Baby Whisperer book but just
haven’t had a chance to get into it yet. I’m sure it is just
habit now and we are at fault. When he was younger and woke up,
that was the only time I could get him to take an 8 ounce bottle so I
was happy to give it to him to get more formula into him. Now it
is haunting us but we will work through it. Hope that Marisa and
Hailey are doing well. Take care.June 18, 2006 at 10:47 am #10022AnonymousInactiveYippee! That’s so great! Whole milk and off Prevacid at the same time – that is just so great!!!!!
