Allergic!

Well, apparently Maia is allergic to normal formula. Unless it's just a coincidence that she threw up about 1-2 hours after eating formula, on three different occasions. She hadn't had formula since I started work, since I was pumping enough. But my supply has been dwindling slowly, and so finally she caught up to what we had stored and there wasn't enough to get her through the next day. So she had a feeding with formula. She didn't seem thrilled about it, and later she threw up. We thought maybe it's because the can of formula had been opened a while ago, so maybe it had spoiled. We got new formula, and a few days later we had to use formula again. Same thing. The pediatrician wasn't convinced, and we thought maybe we just weren't washing the bottles well enough. So, we made sure bottles were double-washed, sterilized, you name it. She really didn't want to eat the formula but got about a half ounce, and about 2 hours later she threw up. So, we were convinced. Pediatrician (or rather, the nurses) still weren't convinced but they said to move onto to Soy Isomil and see if that made things better. So, Matt is going to run out and get some soon, and we'll have to try that tomorrow. Here's hoping it works.
