Awww, poor Aidan. It's no fun being sick, but worse when your little one is sick! Healing prayers on the way for your cutie!

Good thoughts and ((Hugs)) on the way for baby Aidan

**beeniesmom** · 01-23-2006, 03:12 PM

Hope you feel better lil guy.

We're back from the doctor. He gave us some soy-based formula to try on Aidan and see if it helped (I sort of thought he might do that). He sent us to a lab to send in some stool samples for testing and those results won't be back for 2-3 days so we won't know for sure until around Thursday, but hopefully the soy-based formula will help us enough to get us to then without making me lose my mind.

He cried basically ALL day today. My nerves are shot. I'm so glad Josh is home. He's got baby duty until bedtime.

good thoughts on way! I hope he'll finally be comfortable before the result comes. and that is nothing badder than this bad.

hug that little boy for me!

really hope this formula works for you all, great your hubby helps you out, you really need it, rest all you can......

still sending thoughts your way Aidan!!! mommy is doing her best to help you out cutie, kisses and hugs

I hope the formula change helps him. Did the Dr suggest any other
ointment for baby's bottom to clear the rash?I just think that would
be really uncomfortable for Aiden. Desitin words wonders.

**cyber-sibes** · 01-23-2006, 04:57 PM

oh, poor guy! If you can get some cloth diapers while he's all sore, it would really help. They're much less irritating than disposables. Desitin comes in a new softer ointment now. It's good stuff. I recall the pediatrician also recommending A & D ointment.

I think it's still too early to tell definitely, but I *think* it was the formula after all. We went through a night (a 2am and a 6am changing/feeding) with no poopy. Now I just have to hope the soy-based isn't going to constipate him or he'll be 10x more miserable than he was yesterday. At the doctor's suggestion, we're slathering his little bum with "Boudreaux's Butt Paste" which seems to be helping a LOT. And because of the lack of poopy, his butt isn't nearly so raw and irritated as it was yesterday.

My husband had to be on soy formula (don't remember the reason) but is fine with dairy products now, so we're hoping the same for Aidan. I wouldn't want him to be lactose-intolerant his whole life.

Thanks for all the prayers but don't stop yet!

Welcome to the wonderful world of parenthood! Had to hotfoot to the doctors with Katie this morning...........

Hope little Aidan is soon on the mend - give him a hug from me

**prechrswife** · 01-24-2006, 08:14 AM

I hope the change in formula does the trick and little Aidan is feeling better soon.

**ramanth** · 01-24-2006, 08:38 AM

Sore bums are no fun.

Hope Aiden feels better soon.

**kimlovescats** · 01-24-2006, 02:25 PM

It sounds like it could be colic due to the formula afterall. Both of my girls had to be switched to Soy formula and they both did well on it! Good luck and gentle kisses to baby Aiden!

**Samantha Puppy** · 01-24-2006, 02:43 PM

WOO HOO!!! We had a bowel movement about an hour ago - no more seedy grey poupon consistency. It was like thick peanut butter, which is what he'd been having prior to Friday. Looks like the formula was the culprit!!
