ALLERGIES

I think that i can now call our local doctor a friend. I have been there so often lately that as soon as i walk in me & the reception lady are on a first name basis!! hahaha
I took Charlii back to see the doc on Monday to see how her ears were going now that she had finished her course of antibiotics & to see if all the gunk had stopped coming out.
So he had a look & straightaway said that they haven't cleared up, she still has the infection in her ear & so she needs to go back on another course of anti-biotics. He said that it is unusual for a baby to get a burst eardrum & also that it should clear up within a week of being on anti-biotics. (so what's going on i'm thinking to myself, kind of panicking a bit cos they haven't got any bettter)
He asked me a few questions about her diet & things like that & to cut a long story short the doctor now thinks that she is allergic to the cow's milk in her formula. He said that there is something that we are giving her that is making her infection stick around.
So now we have her on Goat's Milk formula for a week & we go back on Monday so see if the cow's milk was the problem.
I have had a look & to me it looks like her ears have cleaned up but the doc knows best. Charlii seems to really like the goats milk which is good but the only problem is it costs about $9 more each can than our other one.......that would be right!
Hopefully if she is allergic to cow's milk then by the time she is about 3 she will be grown out of it. Who knows!!
