Not sure where to go from here......
« on: February 29, 2012, 18:02:26 pm »
E was up last night with another mysterious reaction. She had three bouts of diarrhea from 230am onwards. It was the same mucousy, pungent,  stringy stuff that she had when ebf and I had consumed dairy or something that aggrivated her belly. So I know it's a reaction and not a bug.

Here's the hard part. Either due to the sleep apnea or last night she's starving. She went through this when I bf'd. So I fed her more. Which led to more of this diarrhea. and I know that's where all of her weight loss stemmed from.  So today she's starving and I really don't know what to feed her or if I should go to formula (HAF )  to see if this will all pass out of her system.

She wants food. Asks for food. Sees the girls eating food. WWYD?

I guess I should add my gut tells me HAF for at least today. But at 31lbs and almost 22 months old, how much? 

Bear with me, I'm incredibly sleep deprived and can't quite see through this right now.

I personally would let her have as much HAF as she wants. It may take quite frequent feeds to keep her hunger satisfied.

Thanks Kelly. I think you're right. She had a bit of bread this morning and another massive blowout while I was in the shower and now has bleeding blisters :'(

I'm really starting to wonder if the carrot muffins and all that bread yesterday overloaded her with wheat.  The hard part is I can't explain why she can't have things now. She's sleep deprived and irritable. At least I have a fresh and accurate description for the Paed tomorrow.

I really hope your dd is feeling more comfortable soon. It is so hard to watch them suffer and when you are sleep deprived it makes things 10 times harder.
