Today I called to talk with a nurse about formula. I don't think Lyla likes hers. She arches her back, spits up a lot, and is fussy. I know, I know, I'm describing a baby with unremarkable symptoms. Still, any parent will tell you that sometimes the only symptom you need is a hunch.
She's been on Enfamil Lipil, a formula that I would love to know how to pronounce. They have a gentler version of it (Gentlease), but despite being pronounceable, the first ingredient is corn syrup solids. I'm not a food chemist, but I don't like eating corn unless I'm eating corn.
Then there's soy formula. Nope.
Once I finally got hold of a nurse, I did learn that you can switch your baby's formula as long as you stick with it for a week or two rather than using a different formula every day or something. So...we're switching. Email me or comment if you have suggestions.

I used whatever was free in the mail for awhile - it had some gold label - but I was told by a pediatrician that formula is formula and the walmart and target brands are just as good and lighter on the pocketbook...that's my 1 cent - I didn't want to say 2 cents because I don't know that it is worth that much :)
