hkellickSo as of yesterday, he's totally on milk. We've stopped the use of the ultra-expensive formula. Which is good news altogether. A week of his milk, even if we were to go fancy and organic would cost something like $20 a month, maybe $30. Not the $300 we've been paying for his formula.
And that's good news, for him, for our budget, just altogether good.
The next thing on the list is to wean Robert off the Prevacid. K is REALLY nervous about this. I'm less so, but still nervous. We both fear acid rebound, that with giving him less of the acid reducer, his body will actually OVERPRODUCE acid, hence he'll be up all night screaming.
So long as the Dr. has us wean him off it slowly, slower than he weaned off the formula, probably, we're comfortable with the idea. And it WILL Be.. freeing to have him off the Prevacid. It'll give us even more freedom to go where we want when we want and feed him when he/we want without worrying about it.
So.. all good news for small boys.
