It was originally recommended to me by my pediatrician, who I'm obsessed with, and it is HALF the cost of Enfamil. Before I bought it, I did a side by side comparison, and it's exactly the same. And they have various types. Claire takes lactose free, but they also have soy, what equates to Enfamil's Gentlease, and the regular stuff.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for publishing this blog...it makes me feel not so alone because I nod my head through most of these! And I'd like to put Claire in what I know will be a long queue of lucky girls to have a date w/Chase. He's TOO adorable!!KaraBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02191044238887458183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21544020.post-37392104779991848932008-07-11T13:28:00.000-04:002008-07-11T13:28:00.000-04:00Hey!

I dont' have kids, but I know my sister's kids had trouble when she ate broccoli and asparagus. Her babies were really gassy when she ate those. Not sure if you're a veggie girl, or if there's any medical proof to that, but I thought I would contribute! Good luck! <BR/>-MelissaThe Barrick Timeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15198512207054149095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21544020.post-85264242644759847512008-07-11T09:43:00.000-04:002008-07-11T09:43:00.000-04:00di - i will check that book out... i tried to go t...di - i will check that book out... i tried to go to the library for healthy sleep habits but they have one copy at another location and it takes days to get it sent over... unfortch i don't have days... i could be clinically insane by then. <BR/><BR/>danielle - thanks for the tip... i just might do that. i switched to the target diapers because they are so much cheaper and work just fine!<BR/><BR/>johnnie - i am only a few steps away from formula... chase isn't allergic to anything that we know of but i guess the formula would show if it was something in my diet. i am starting to agree with puffin and most of the world... it's just hard because i don't know when he will stop... he can go on for hours...LoveLladrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978797008813692988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21544020.post-90301536492555773542008-07-11T08:27:00.000-04:002008-07-11T08:27:00.000-04:00Yeah,Unfortunately every child is differently. So ...Yeah,<BR/>Unfortunately every child is differently. So I can only speak to my experience, but when we switched to formula, it's so heavy, It knocked Frodo out for the count.<BR/><BR/>Don't take this wrong, but some of you know my brother Puffin, and he taught me early on "Crying babies, sleep well". Now that's a mean way to word it, but I think there is truth in the fact that the kids learn cause and effect. It was tough, but you quickly learn authentic cries from the I want attention cries.<BR/><BR/>Frodo sleeps like a charm now. But that could be stupid luck and have nothing to do with what we did.<BR/><BR/>I truly believe that your gut will lead you right. Mom's diet is very crucial. Does he have an allergy?

BUT I will tell you that if price is an issue, we just switched Anna over to generic Target formula (which turns out to be exactly the same as the name brand). It's $11 instead of $28 for the same amount and she really hasn't even noticed. If you decide to try the formula, I'd go there.

It's a great book to start training from any age (birth - 5 years). Basically, IMO, sleep training is crucial for years to come - especially for the little ones as they need solid rest for development, etc.<BR/><BR/>Here's the Amazon linke... also just another suggestion, rent it from the library so that way you don't have to shell out money on a book that may or may not be helpful to you. If you find it's helpful, then purchase it :) I did that with a TON of sleep books and found that a lot of them start to overlap.<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Good-Night-Sleep-Tight-Helping/dp/1593150253Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848117305111995331noreply@blogger.com
