NO MILK!

Have you ever had that thought in the back of your mind like a "what if" but then you forget and a month or two later it pops up again? Well I had that happen regarding Hailey. When we switched over to formula I noticed her skin was getting really dry and she was spitting up a lot as well as spitting up water. I had a split second thought of I wonder if she's possibly allergic to milk or is it something else? I addressed it with our Pediatrician and was told all babies spit up etc. We went on with our usual routine and after spending some time with family for the weekend we came home to find that yet another dry spot popped up on her head. That was it, I was determined to find out what was going on. I was able to get an apoitment the day I called and the Dr. and I came to the conclusion that my "what if" was very possibly. So we put her on a milk free formula and she fell asleep instantly after she was fed. Joel and I just looked at each other and smiled - this is good!
By the next day we could tell a difference. So Hailey is most likley allergic to milk which I was also so catching it this early is good and she hopefully grow out of it like I did.
