Age: 8 Weeks
Weight: 14 lbs 0 oz
Clothing Size: All 0-3 months but I can tell it won't be long until we move up!
Diaper Size: Pampers Swaddlers Size 1 - last package!
Feeding Schedule: ~10 x's per day
Milestones: Longest night of sleep: 5/25 - 9 hours 15 minutes
Oh little man....Saturday 5/25 was his last night of long sleep. Caleb went back to his old habits and some nights it felt like he was a new born again. There was one night he was up almost every hour. Sometimes he was just crying in his sleep and I was able to rock him for a bit and he'd stop. I believe he was suffering from some bad gas pain.
Two days in a row I had a significant amount of soybean oil in a salad dressing and then straight on a salad in the form of oil and vinegar. That night was HORRIBLE. This makes me believe he is intolerant to soy as well. In research about 30% of babies that are milk protein intolerant are also soy protein intolerant...looks like Caleb may be one of the lucky ones. Thankfully this is something most babies grow out of by their first birthday.
I had been avoiding dairy for a good week and a half and starting soy as well. This is much harder than it sounds because soy is in EVERYTHING. If it makes a difference in how Caleb feels, it's worth it. I hate seeing him crying in pain from gas and stomach aches. I have his two month appointment next Friday so hopefully the Dr. can offer some insight.
The 'symptoms' of MSPI (milk soy protein intolerance) that Caleb shows is extreme fussiness, extreme gas, thick mucous like poops and dry/blotchy skin that's spread from his face to his arms, belly and legs (eczema?).
