am i the only one out there that gets beyond ticked off with i read statements like this? a friend (and i use that term loosely) posted about the doc confirming her dd being colic and some one replied back with dont worry they have formula for that.
ok first, isnt colic just a name docs give to a child that is extremely fussy but they cant figure why. and B, why in this day and age do people still think formula is some miracle cure.
im sorry if this offends any one. im not anti formula but i do urge a mom to try every thing before resorting to formula. maybe its just my hormones or lack of sleep but im getting annoyed really easily tonight. and no i didnt say any thing.
i'm a book reading, thrill seeking, always traveling, can't sit still, stuck in my ways, pierced and tattooed, co- sleeping, anti-vaccinating, extended breast feeding, cloth diapering, home schooling, army wife., and mommy to an all natural little girl. and an intact little boy. who's madly in love with my husband and absolutely loves being a stay at home mommy and army wife kind of woman.
it bothers me too! im in a "young mommies" group on facebook and when a mom posts about how her baby is having tummy problems, the first question i always see is "what kind of formula is he/she on?" im like uhm hello, you dont have to assume that every baby is formula fed!!!!!! grrrr!
Formula. :(
Quoting Kandiface:
My son was SUPER colicky when he was about 2-4 months because he was allergic to milk. He's on Nutramigen. The first time he had it, he slept thru the entire night(and has since. He's 11 months).
Quoting larissalarie:
A mother could continue to breastfeed by removing milk from her diet (I have done it for 3+ years now). Some babies can't tolerate those special formulas and mom ends up having to relactate and still cut out the milk.

Yeah considering no formula out there is going to digest as easily as breastmilk!
thats why im not anti-formula. i guess to get my entire frustration with this "friend" you would have to have a ton of back ground. she swore her first was allergic to milk and colic. yet nothing "helped" her. she recently did an allergy test. shes 1.5 now, maybe 2 and found she has no allergies.
im sorry your ds was so colicky and yall found something that helped him.

I know what I could have done and I tried bfing. I'm not explaining why I had to stop because it's none of anyone's business. He tolerates it just fine, thanks.
