Apparently, he is tracking his curves well. Yay for a growing boy!

Some of you may have heard about our uncertainty about giving Cameron dairy. The first (and second, and third) time we tried giving him yogurt, he got a contact rash on his face anywhere the yogurt had been. He got little hives, and while they disappeared within an hour and didn't seem to bother him much, it made us wonder. The next time we saw the hives was when we tried giving him oatmeal mixed with formula. Same hives, anywhere on his face that the formula had touched.

So, the bottle that I brought with us to the pedi appointment today contained both breast milk and some formula. We fed him some of it, and sure enough, out popped the hives again. I'm glad the pedi was able to see what we were talking about! So, she said that she is going to contact an allergist and will get back to us.

For now, to be on the safe side, she says we'll just proceed as if he has a dairy allergy. We'll switch to soy formula for supplementing and see if that helps. Hopefully he really doesn't have an allergy. But we'll get him allergy tested at 12 months to find out for sure.

Otherwise, he is in great health!
