We didn't make it home more than 24 hours before we had to turn around and go back to the doctor. Addison has had some trouble feeding since we got home and the lack of wet diapers had us concerned. Kristen called our pediatrician and he told us to come in immediately. He checked Addison over and told us to start trying to supplement with formula and see if that gets anything going. He didn't tell us this until later but, he was debating whether or not to put us back in the hospital for the night. So we made it home and tried feeding every two hours last night which was struggle because all Addison wanted to do was sleep. We went back to the doctor first thing in the morning and had still not had a wet diaper. This worried the Dr. and he sent us to the hospital next door to draw some blood for lab work. By this time Kristen was taking it pretty hard, but Addison was a real trooper and barely even squirmed when they drew blood. As we were packing up to leave the hospital we checked her diaper and had a big surprise! It was soaked!(Almost 24 hours had passed since her last wet one) The pediatrician was very happy with this and told us that all the lab work came back and everything was fine. He said from now on we should just stick with formula. To sum it up, everything is fine and we have noticed a big difference in Addison's energy since switching.
Addison already decided she's a MIZZOU fan!!!
