[quote=Anonymous]OP. Yes, DD is now exclusively on Elecare. I really hope this is the magic bullet. I have taken an indefinite leave from my job as my DH is in the middle of major stuff at work. It's tough at my work too but I think I can swing one week. I am desperately searching for a nanny. Grandparents are jet-setters and not much interested in helping. They of course have big plans to celebrate DD's one year old.

Ped tried getting an appt earlier with Children's and failed. So I am waiting for Monday AM to talk to the nurse again and see if they will repeat the process for Georgetown. Thank you for all the references and kind words. I am soo exhausted. DD grunts, goes red in the face, strains, does the milk sign with her hands, smacks her lips, cries but swipes the bottle away angrily so it takes 1-2 hrs of coaxing with every feed. Sometimes when she puts her thumb in, I can put the nipple in but she will swirl the milk in and push it away, probably thinking this is certainly not worth the pain :(  I am even trying solids in different places in the house, with spoon, finger but nothing. She is not able to nap or sleep well either .

PP, thank you for sharing about your daughter.[/quote]
