6 Week Update

Porter is now 6 weeks old! He has started smiling, however, he has not had much to smile about starting about 4 days ago. He started crying when nursing and getting very upset. It seemed like he was having problems with all parts of his poor little digestive system. I suspect he either has developed a milk allergy or lactose intolerance. Long story short, I'm not completely sure what the problem is, but both milk based formula and breast milk makes him very sick and unhappy. I have started feeding him soy formula and have had good results so far. I'm still trying to keep my milk supply up just in case we can get to the bottom of this with the doctor next week and can resume nursing. Otherwise, he seems to be a healthy happy baby, and his little smile can melt his mommy and daddy's hearts! Here's a picture of that precious smile!
