I’m so glad that you are getting the tests done so soon! I had a 6.5 month wait for Hailey’s which gave me lots of time to worry, but I was worrying about nothing. She also had IV sedation but got gassed before, and she didn’t feel any pain. It was quite easy for her. Having the probe done at the same time as the endo is the best way to do it. That way they don’t feel it going in which is the worst part. I wish that we had ours done that way, but the doc refused. If you ask, they can give you something called “NO-NO’s” after she has her probe put in. They’re basically little splints that they velcro onto the arms over the elbows so that they can’t bend their elbows. That way they can’t reach their faces to pull out the probe. As for the neocate, I can’t comment on that one. My little bottle hater wouldn’t touch anything with even a drop in it. I wish you better luck! Sounds like she’s starting to accept it a bit.
I did want to let you know that I think that stevia is safe to give to babies. At least I hope it is because our compounding pharmacy used to put it in Hailey’s compounded losec (which I only found out later) to sweeten it.
We used to add corn syrup to Hailey’s bottles at one point to get her to poop which made them sweet, but she would always accept them either way. So the only taking sweet things didn’t apply to her.
I’m so glad that you’re in a better place today. Hang in there and keep us posted.
