$41 formula...

is TOTALLY worth every penny!! As I mentioned in the post below - and many previous posts :0) - Sophie has had a time with her tummy and acid reflux!! We took her to a pediatric GI specialists and she recommended a special formula called Progestimil. It is a formula that you have to special order from your local pharmacy. When I went to order it the pharmacist warned me that it was pretty expensive...$51 for a pound to be exact. Sophie goes through 2-3 of these a week. I've had a hard time with having to stop nursing Sophie. One of the reasons was all the money we were saving by me nursing. Well, this formula just added to the guilt. Anywho...we ordered the formula with mixed feelings of wanting it to work so that Sophie would feel better and not wanting it too because we will be spending more for it than we spend on our own groceries for the week. However, I do think God is watching out for us because it's only $41 instead of the $51...hey, every bit helps!! Thankfully, it seems to be working! Sophie has been feeling much better and spitting up A LOT less! And drum roll please....she has been sleeping great! YAAAAYYYY!!! Today she has taken both of her full two hour naps. Actually she is going on 2.5 hrs for her second one. I can't tell you the last time she took her entire nap with out waking up. AND...she fell asleep on her own both times! I can't tell you how happy this makes me. I know it probably seems like no big deal, but I have worked and worked with Sophie on her sleeping! I hear that babies that suffer from severe acid reflux have a harder time getting on a sleep schedule, but I have been consistent in working with her. I know it's just one day, but it really has given me hope! It's been a good day!
