last frontier... not

we thought alimentum was the last resort in pistoy's hunt for the elusive "hiyang" formula. hindi pala.

we called his pedia to ask for his stool to be tested for food or milk allergy. we thought we need to know that first before we could switch to alimentum. it turns out, pwede naman palang mag-switch agad, hindi lang agad inadvise ng pedia namin. bukod sa mahal, nakakataba pala ang alimentum (or other formulas na pre-digested ang proteins). nabasa ko lang sa kaka-research.

so we switched to alimentum. first feeding, si je ang nakasaksi sa pagtunganga ni pistoy as if pinapakiramdaman sa tyan nya yung bagong lasa. second feeding, medyo ok-ok naman sya. then pinasa ko na si pistoy kay mama ayet while i catch some Zs. third feeding, namimilipit si pistoy, ire nang ire. parang ganon ang nangyari sa kanya sa Gerber Good Start (their standard formula).

so balik breast milk muna si pistoy the next 24 hours after ng 3rd feeding. buti na lang inipon namin yung pumped breastmilk ko.

after the 24 hour "purga" period, we introduced Enfamil Prosobee kay pistoy. so far, parang pareho ang effect sa kanya as with the Similac Isomil.

which leads me to believe na baka hindi sya ok sa cow's milk-based na formula. similac advance, sensitive and alimentum were all cow's milk-based. yung alimentum, kahit pa pre-digested ang protein, cow's milk-based pa rin.

binabantayan pa rin namin ang reaction ni pistoy sa enfamil soy. nag-ga-grunt pa rin sya, umiire. but at least, hindi naman sya namimilipit.

as with my breastmilk naman, so far so good. i'm still on strict (bland) diet to rule out yung proteins na napapasa ko. hay. andami kong di pwedeng kainin. i'm on an even stricter diet than when i was preggo.
