You know — i think that it was you or maybe someone else who said that Duocal could only be given to babies older than 1… something about reading it on the website? Well here in Spain, it is very clear that the Duocal is also meant for newborns… it is so strange how everything is SO SO different. I just went to the websites and the UK and Spanish ones seem to OK it for infants vs teh US one that says not suitable for children under 1!!!

Good luck with the Polycose, Lori – when are you trying it?

Have you tried molasses water? Blackstrap molasses is full of nutrients like iron and I think calcium, it’s sweet and yummy, and has some calories. My mom used to make me fennel tea by boiling some fennel seeds in some water with sugar; it’s a natural remedy for gas. I’ve done it with molasses and it’s yummy and Ally loves it. You could try that, too, if it interests you.

Thanks for the offer. I may have to take you up on that.

There’s nothing new in our saga. Noah is getting tougher to deal with these days. He’s getting more of a mind of his own. I swear its getting so much harder to feed him. He spits out his solids and starts hitting me when I have the spoon in my hand. He isnt doing well with anything with texture. I have to wear a raincoat if I try to feed him anything that has the tiniest lumps in it. I end up wearing more than he eats. I use a lot of distraction; Baby Einstein videos, cartoons, the other children help entertain, etc. It’s such a chore. I feel like there is so much that we need to do to help him and its overwhelming. We’ll keep trying and hopefully some day soon it will “click” and he’ll love eating.

Are you having any progress with Hailey? I hope she’s doing better.
