So, we made the decision to try to wean Chloe off Elecare. We aren’t getting any financial assistance for the formula, she’s doing REALLY well with the reflux and CCmax, and is doing okay on solids. We are going from Elecare to the Gerber Good Start with probiotics because it is supposed to be very gentle on he tummy. We have been on a 1/2 and 1/2 mix for almost two weeks, and plan on increasing the amount of regular formula this weekend. For those of you who have weaned, how did you know all was well? We have seen a tiny amount of mucous in her stool, not nothing major. She has not refluxed more than normal, she is sleeping well (well, as good as she was before starting to wean.). She did get a nasty cold and ear infection during this whole process, but it is almost gone and she is getting back to her old sleeping habits. One thing I have noticed is that she has had a bit of a rash on her face, but it calms down with some shea butter. I wonder though if it isn’t because of the change in weather and/or her cold. Just curious if all this sounds normal and what other people’s experiences have been while weaning.
