oh poo.

well we thought we were done with formula but i guess not.

we had started ella on cows milk right around her first birthday but after about 3 days of her drinking milk instead of formula she started having horrible diarrhea, and would poop between 4-6 times a day, all of them being runny. her butt was bright red and had welts all over it. i couldn't think of anything else that it would be since the only thing we'd changed was giving her milk. we'll i'd bought a little container of formula, and after the first night giving her formula again that next day her poops were getting back to normal, she'd only pooped twice instead of the 4-6 times that she'd been for the past couple days.. so yeah, were back on formula for now. it's not that big of a deal since she hardly drinks much at all, only 2 bottles a day. but about a week before her 15 month doctors appointment i'm going to give the cows milk a try again and see what happens. and if she cant tolerate it again i'm going to be bringing it up at her appointment.

if anything i'd thought that the cows milk would make her a little constipated, but it was the total opposite.. i don't know, if anyone has any advice or knows what might be wrong please let me know.
