Thanks to everyone who has checked in about Henry’s health. The staph infection is all cleared up, gotta love that super strong antibacterial ointment!
His latest thing–which is not so much a health condition as it is an annoyance for the poor little guy–is excessive gassiness. I’ll spare you all the details, but it’s making it difficult for him to sleep and nurse, given the obvious discomfort he’s in.
Before you post, yes, I’ve already given up dairy, chocolate, caffeine, spicy foods, red/tomato sauce, and most vegetables. None of this seems to have made much of a difference, so we’re headed back to the doc tomorrow just to make sure nothing else is going on. My guess is it could be the occasional 2 oz of formula we give him, or he’s just got an immature digestive system and he’ll eventually outgrow this. Let’s hope so, b/c right now he smells a lot like a college kid after a long night of drinking.
