I know this picture is blurry, but since our camera's flash decided to die before we could get a decent picture, we could not get a shot that wasn't blurry. He HATES getting breathing treatments (understandable, right?) but Collin has asthma. We are not sure what triggers the attacks, but I have my suspicions that it might be cows milk. You see, last week we ran out of breast milk, so for 3 or 4 days Collin had Nestle Good Start formula (before he came to us, Collin was tried on different formulas to help with his Colic, which seemed to disappear when Collin was placed completely on donated breast milk. But when we run out of breast milk (which has happened several times) we have had to give him formula. But doing this seems to lead to Collin's asthma attacks. So I am asking for help. If anyone has extra breast milk they could spare or has a sister or friend that would be willing to part with milk, could you please e-mail me at littleforeverfamily@yahoo.com? I am having a post placed at one of the OBGYN offices and also am part of milk share, which puts allows users to donate and request milk from all over. PLease help us, because we just really want Collin to have the best start possible.

I don't have milk. One of my best friends had astma and she couldn't do milk so that is atotal possible trigger. Just thought I'd let you know. GL with the brest milk searck
ReplyDeleteEmily, just a thought but when you're out of breast milk you might want to try goats milk. My cousin is adopted and really struggled with allergies to milk and soy based formulas. My aunt ended up using goats milk and never had any problems. You can get it at Good Earth, and even Macey's sometimes carries it. It's a little pricey, but so worth it if it will keep him from having asthma!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I hope you get some good mommy's milk soon!

Emily..I can't read the orange printing. Good luck with everything! Are you coming to the walk this year?
