Success!

Well we finally had our GP appointment this morning and she was awesome! I just told her what had been going on, that she seems heaps better on Neocate and that was that. We dont even need to see a paed for a special authority number - she just ticked a few boxes on her computer and it was done. So now just waiting for the pharmacy to order and them to arrive. So impressed. And she is going to do another child disability allowance for us!

So plan for now is Neocate, try to delay solids until 6 months if possible and see how we are going at that stage. Maybe trial with a normal formula or do testing at 6 months.

I my GP, she is the best! And thanks to you lovely ladies for your support and reassurance over the last few days - you have kept me sane

That's great news Aimee, your gp sounds fab. I neocate, Spencer has been a different baby on it, and yay for the allowance we get that too.

Yay Aimee, I'm glad you got some good support from your GP, it really does make all the difference.
Your plan sounds sensible, similar to what we did with the gremlins, altho we delayed introducing dairy/egg/peanut/soy till after we'd had them RAST/skin pricked at 9 mths. We were supposed to keep them off wheat too but I got too frustrated with their limited diet and cautiously introduced it about 8 mths.

But that's a long way down the track for you, I'm just pleased that you have a plan of attack, and that the Neocate is working wonders for Greer - it smells awful but it really is magic stuff!

Good on you,...you really didnt have a choice. You were doing evereything humanly possible with your diet, other than starve,...a happy baby = happy Mum!

I know Emma!! I had spaghetti on toast for lunch yesterday cos we didnt have anything yummy like cheese around. Off to buy some wine today

Hi chick.  How's baby Greer doing now? 

Ugh - so sorry about Friday.  It was all very unexpected.  But I knew those towels and wipes in the car would be needed one day!!  Ha ha.  Jono is very excited about the peaches, BTW - can't beat home-made.   mmmmm! 

Yay for PJ days!

I have a parcel to send you which I will send if the last bits I am waiting on ever arrive!

oooh, ok hers your update. sounds like things are looking up.

i was gonna say the other day it will be interesting to get your persepective on the breast vs bottle feeding seeing as you have now done (or will be doing) both...

Take care and enjoy your parcel when it gets there.

Disability allowance is income tested, CHILD disability allowance isn't, they're two separate things.

LOL at Hannah!
