He is soooooo much better! Once again, I was right and the Pediatrician was wrong (why are doctors so cocky?). I told the stupid Doctor that the weight loss AND bum rash was due to a milk proteins allergy. He wouldn't hear it. So I switched Jude to soy formula on my own. 48 hours later....he's great!
His weight is up. His bum rash is almost gone. I'm a genius. Good times ahead.
He rewarded my Tiger-Mother skills with bestowing on me his first smiles this morning as we snuggled in bed. There is nothing...NOTHING...more heart-melting than seeing your baby's first smiles, meant just for you.

Seriously. I remember each of their smiles. Magic. I'm so glad he's doing better!
good for you! I went 3 months listening to the dr say it was just colic - my baby cried 24/7 until a wonderful day care provider carefully suggested i "try" soy milk for a few days, what could it hurt, she said. In less than 24 hours i had a very content happy baby. Then it was my turn for crying, i felt like such a terrible mother. Hope he thrives and continues to give those wonderful smiles!
What a beautiful boy! I'm glad you found the fix for him!
