Visit with Dr. Eastman

Parker's eyes are still goopy so we decided to call the doctor yesterday. At the two week visit, Dr. Eastman told us to massage his eyes several times a day and it should get better. His eyes are just getting worse. Sometimes he wakes up and he can't open his eyes so the nurse told us to come in. We went in today and Parker has an eye infection. Not that big of a deal and the doctor gave us some antibiotic eye drops and said it should clear up soon. The good news is that his nose, ears and throat looked fine.

Parker is up to 14lbs (with clothes on and sleeping nevertheless) and Dr. Eastman was so happy that the soy formula is working out. I was concerned that Parker is eating too much because we are up to 8oz 4-5 times per day. He eats every 4-5 hours during the day and goes longer at night. Dr. Eastman feels that Parker is digesting the formula better so it's leaving his system faster which makes him want to eat more often. That makes sense! Dr. Eastman feels that it's ok to feed him as Parker demands. We will soon be starting cereal so this will help out.

We are again so thankful that the soy formula is working out. It is so funny how when I mention switching to soy formula to my mom friends, they tell me this was the only formula that worked for their baby(ies). Why didn't I try this earlier???
