Finally formula

So my allergy ridden son has finally found a formula he can eat. Of course it's the expensive one, and I can only buy the prepared bottles because the powdered has corn maltodextrin, but hey, I found one!! I'm going to call the questions/comments # and find out if I can freeze some. So last monday Jared took Ty in for his 9 month apt and the DR says his weight and his head circumference growth have flat-lined and he needs 2-3 bottles of formula a day or his brain will stop developing. Ok, so after my hear attack, and stopping myself several times from calling the DR because I feel the need to defend myself as a good mommy I start doing my homework to finally find a formula he can have. A little trial and error, and we finally find it. Or at least it's going well so far. So well in fact that last monday he weighed 13 lb 10 oz. Then over the weekend the poor kid came down with croup (I swear this kid picks up a new virus every stinking week at the sitters, or maybe from me and my carrier monkey students!) so I took him in to the DR's and he weighed (after exactly 1 week) 14 lb and 4 oz. Holy cow! And so far we are only on 1-2 bottles a day. His head looked bigger to me after just a few days, and it's getting really hard to lift him, he's growing faster than my arm muscles can keep up with. Esp with that stupid car seat. So there you have it. Ty is now a happy formula fed and breast fed baby, though I think I'll keep weaning until he's all formula by Dec. It's made my life, esp at school, so much easier. But, I'm glad I did it. And I'm glad for Dr.'s that scare you into doing what is best for your kid.
