So we now know what was the matter with our little Bella. After doing that special diet for a week there was still no change in Bella . So after going to the hospital and doing a Barium Enema and going back up to denver ( the 2nd time in a week) we found out that Bella is allergic to the milk protein in breast milk. So now she is on this expensive hypoallergenic formula that is $28 a can. You always hear that breast milk is the healthiest for babies. So here I have this healthy baby girl, who is an amazing nurser and she is allergic to my milk!!! Seriously!!! After having my meltdown of having to stop nursing her I am better about it now. Quinton and I saw a huge difference in her within just 2 feedings, so I really don't have room to complain. My little girl is a happy, content, smiling little girl. I have my baby back. I knew that something was wrong with her. I knew that her fussing and crying was not colic ( however, many of her doctors suggested that and I quickly said no). I know my baby and she does not have colic. She is crying for a reason. So now she can go poo all by herself now ( yeah!!!) and is so happy now. We are still working on her spit up and acid reflux but the formula has helped some for this. I just love having my baby back happy and healthy.

I'm sure it was disappointing to not be able to breastfeed her any longer and formula is SO dang expensive...but how wonderful that she's feeling so much better! I'm glad you listened to your gut and figured out what was causing her to feel so bad!
