Well, Camron is doing much better. I can tell he feels better because he's smiling and giggling again. And he's starting to be so content just laying in his playpen and watching the giraffes on the mobile dance around.
Jaron has been having a good time making him laugh. The other day in the car, he was singing him a song that was on the radio and Camron just loved it. Last nite, as Camron was sitting in his bouncy seat, J sat in front of him and pulled the blanket up to Camo's nose and then took it away and said peek-a-boo.....oh my gosh, the smiles they had were adorable!!
Anyways, one of the girls at work who just came back from maternity leave was telling me that her son was on his 4th formula already. Nothing was agreeing with him so far, so they put him on Nutramigen. Odd.....Jennette's baby is on Nutramigen also (after trying 3 formulas). Formula kind of goes in steps....there's the regular milk-based, if the baby can't stomach that they go to the gentle form that has broken down proteins that are easier to digest, then after that they try soy-based, and then (almost as a last resort) they use Nutramigen....which is a lot more expensive! Luckily, Camron was good with the 2nd formula that we tried, the gentle/broken down proteins kind. I just find it troubling that 3 out of 3 newborns that I know were not ok on the regular formula. I wonder if it's a coincidence or if the formula companies just don't make it the way they used to.....or is something wrong with the food we (pregnant women) eat that passes on the weak stomachs to our babies.....it's kind of scary to think that there are too many chemicals in our food that this would be possible, but I think this reason is probably the most true. And most of all, I wonder if the formula companies have recognized this, and have done anything about it. Pregnant women beware: don't eat a lot of chemically altered food!

Glad to hear that he's feeling better. It seems that so many children these days are suffering from more and more allergies or have some type of medical issue. I see a lot of it in the classroom and wouldn't be surprised if it's all environmentally based. Maybe it's due to the ozone layer deteriorating or global warming! Whatever the cause, the effects are stretching throughout childhood. That's it...tofu and water for everybody!
Actress Jenny McCarthy was on the DR's morning show yesterday. She had some knowledgable people with her, and they talked about how many children need to be on stricter diets, birth - adolescence, to counteract the herendous mistakes the medical field is making with vaccines. They are putting too many meds in per dose, and vaccinating for things that are not necessary, ie chicken pox and a couple others I can't remember. As a result, some kids don't manage all the meds and become asthmatic, or lactose intolerant, or just weak immune systems. Other kids get autism. Her son has autism.
I swear, the more foods you can eat straight out of the garden, the better off we will all be. And, my stand on vaccines is....stop it. The FDA doesn't care about our kids, we do!
