About 3 weeks ago they went through a big growth spurt and starting screaming on the breast because my milk wasn't enough. We were then forced to start topping them up with some formula to make up the difference. I dont know if it's the formula or just that they are drinking so much more milk, but they have really started to grow so fast now that I can see the difference every day.
The only problem we've been having is that Kylie seems to be sensitive to formula because she started having really bad diarrhea and cramps :( We currently have her on 100% breastmilk which is working, but I dont have enough milk to continue that for very long. We're going to have to start experimenting with different formulas to see if we can find one that she can tolerate. I'm not sure what it is in the formula she's reacting to, but if I had to guess it's the milk and lactose. We've thought of trying soy formula, but I'm more allergic to soy than I am to dairy so I'm nervous to put her on it. If any of you have been through this and have any advice.. I'd love to hear it please!!
I'm going to try to take more videos of the girls because they are so darn cute right now. They are both smiling so much and starting to talk. I often lay them on their play mat together and they talk to each other...it's amazing! They aren't sleeping much during the days now so they are keeping me extremely busy. It's a lot of fun and they are very good babies, but two is definitely a handful :)
I've been very bad about taking pictures since my Mom left, but here's a couple!
