Just wanted to update that we stopped the Good Start 2 trial. I was switching him to see if he could digest any milk proteins (before a real milk trial) and since it had more nutrients he needs now than the Alimentum. I think he was tolerating it fine (except he did seem a little more gassy while on it but no extreme fussiness like other formulas we tried when he was real little) but he ended up getting a bad cold last week that has now turned into a sinus infection. He is on an antibiotic and a prescription decongestant/antihistamine so I figured this was not the best time to try something new since he needs a lot of fluid and if he were to react I would not know if it was because he was sick, the meds or the new formula. Maybe we’ll try again in a couple of weeks or I may just go straight to a milk trial at 18 months. He does seem to be doing fine with limited amounts of hidden dairy.

Hi Tiffany –

I’m so sorry to hear about the trial! I had been secretly hoping that Seth had made some sort of miraculous recovery since I hadn’t seen you post in a while. Hopefully the fact that he didn’t have any major reactions is a good thing – I would bet that he would be gassy anyway, just because it’s something new, but I bet he’d get used to that quickly. Owen had more gas when he started on soy milk but that went away after a few days and didn’t seem particularly bothersome to him.

Good luck, and thanks for updating us!

Probably a good idea to not do a trial since he’s sick. It sure does confuse things! Hopefully, you’ll get to go right to milk for the next trial. I switched Hailey right to 2% milk at 18 months and success! We also noticed more gas right after the switch so it must just take awhile for their digestive systems to adjust!

Good luck and hope Seth gets better soon!

Thanks guys, I’ll keep you updated about the trials. He does seem to be feeling better but now me and Dh have his cold!

Laura, I wish Seth had a miraculous recovery– just too swamped here at work to post much. The auditors are here and are keeping me busy! I just keep praying they don’t find some major error I made in one of my sleep-deprived stupors!!

Stacey, been missing you on here too!
