Well Day 2 of adding whole milk in and going with Plan B.

:-0  HE HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER.  No joke.  We had the BEST day we have had in a very long time.  Weird....

He took a great afternoon nap, he helped me clean today, he ate great. 

SO......  the other thing that I have done is not given him eggs.  Maybe that was the problem.  He has been eating egg yolks since 7/8 months and egg whites since 11 months old.

- Today he had 1/2 yogurt and a total of 4oz. of whole milk. 

- He did wake up at 4:00 this morning and would not go back to sleep.  He has been waking up though for about a month. 

I hope he sleeps longer tonight.

Great news that he was so happy!  Yuck on the early wakings.  Hopefully it's just a phase or the one nap transition.  How's the one nap going?

Well he woke up at 5:00 this morning, so not to bad. 

He is now down for his nap. 

He is still having a quick catnap in the morning, just to get him through.

We had his 15 month check-up and the Ped. we saw today, said she deft. though his skin was the KP.  I guess like with anything, everyone tells you something different.

So I am adding more and more whole milk to his rice milk and offering more yogurt and so far he is doing excellent!!!  He has not pooped though, so I am really hoping he does not get constipated.  If he does though, I know we can treat that.

Thank you Lee Ann

So the rest of the day has been great.  Just blows me away because Tyler seems happier now. 

Maybe like I said before.  I was stressing way to much about why he was so fussy and my mind was always on that.  Now not worrying about everything little thing that he eats, he and I are both more relaxed.

It is 8:30 and he is down for the night.  We road around and looked at Christmas lights tonight and he did excellent.  :-0  Normally he is so fussy in the car.

I hope you don't mind me adding some experience on going milk free. It's not only the calcium I found I had to supplement, it was also riboflavin. I had riboflavin deficiency when I gave up milk even though I was taking a supplement with the RDI!

Poor boy is having a reaction from his shots :(  He has been running a fever of 103.00 and comes down with Tylenol and Motrin and then back up to 103 in 3 hours.

Still doing great on milk though, we are on all Whole Milk now.
