How much can formula cost anyways? Amy's sister volunteered to pick us up some to try and see if that would help soothe Anna's stomach. We didn't know that the cost would be $30 for one container. What we tried was a hypo-allergenic formula. When Anna turned up her nose to it, we realized that we had wasted a bit of money. She wouldn't even take a sip. The reason we explored this route was because Anna was continually getting fussier, esp. at night, straight from 11PM to 4AM. That left us with no sleep and her feeling horrible.
We finally were able to talk to our pediatrician who thinks she has acid reflux and is lactose intolerant. He put us on a medicine for the reflux and told us to discontinue breastfeeding and use soy forumula. Below is a picture of the formula we picked up tonight. Since we started her on this last night she has done SOOOO much better. She'll actually lay down for naps. We are very thankful that she is doing better now. God is good. Unfortunately the formula isn't as kind to our wallet. :)

Hey Anna Cate! I am glad that you finally got something that is easier on your stomach!! Tell your parents that MB and I are sorry that the other formula didn't work, but we are so glad you are getting some sleep now!
