Back on the Formula

We decided to put Adela back on her formula a few days ago since she was seeming a bit sluggish lately.  She never really bounced back from her cold to where she was before.  Before the cold, she was excited about trying new foods, was running (well, walking fast) around the house, and just generally in a very happy mood.  Since the cold about a month ago, she’s kind of fallen backwards in all three things.

It’s surprising, but the formula does seem to make a difference.  We started back on the formula Friday night and when she woke up on Saturday morning, not only was her mood better, but she was more active too.  That, and a better appetite has seemed to stay with her all weekend.  Of course, now we have to figure out why.  We can’t leave her on the formula because she doesn’t need to get too many calories (plus, we’re trying to move away from needing formula anyway).  But, if there’s something she’s getting in the formula that she’s not getting in her regular diet, we can’t not give her the formula.  Catch-22….
