Yes, you read correctly! Olivia has breast milk! (Now I know why I never got a full supply, she took it! Ha!) In all seriousness, I noticed that Olivia had two lumps on her boobies yesterday. When I was giving her a bath, I felt the lumps again and squeezed them to see if it was just fatty tissue or an actual ball and to my very big surprise, she leaked a milky substance. We went into the Dr. today and she confirmed that the lumps are indeed normal and so is the breast milk. It's not very common but it is normal. My actual pediatrician had never seen it but knew about it. She confirmed with the other pediatrician in the office and he has seen it before. Apparently Olivia took in all my hormones during pregnancy because she has VERY bad cradle cap and now the breast milk, all caused by mommy's hormones!
Excuse the attire and the lack of bows... The Dr. wanted me to keep them in onesies for a while in order for their eczema to clear up some and Olivia did have on a cute onesie but she got it all dirty with a leaky diaper the minute we got home. The bows flew off because we have NOT been happy all afternoon and bouncing between mommy's arms, rocker, swing and boppys can cause giant bows to fly! (Much to Tia Genelle's delight...)My babies are growing mullets!!
And just about the only seconds we were happy this afternoon! They have been non-stop since we got home. I think they don't like the house, I swear! The Dr. did switch Ella's formula now to Enfamil A.R. It is a thicker formula so we are going to see if that helps with the reflux because I'm not seeing much of a difference with the Zantac. If the formula doesn't work... off to Prevacid we go!
Truth be told, I wouldn't trade any horrible fussy, non-stop crying day with these little faces for anything in this world!
