I'm sorry to say that it didn't work for him, but I will be praying that it works for Dillon.<BR/><BR/>I have a few ideas that worked for us while we were on the diet, so I thought I'd share.<BR/><BR/>We bought a box of small canning jars. They were just the right size for each of his 6 feedings of formula. They made things so much easier for travel and for measuring.<BR/><BR/>Dillon's lips will get very dry and peel alot while on the diet. We tried every lip remedy known to man and do you know what finally worked? Good ol' Vaseline petroleum jelly!!! Kept his lips lubricated, so they didn't split and bleed.<BR/><BR/>Also, the fewer objects you use to measure and pour while making the formula, the less chance you have of losing drops of it here and there. We had to measure down to the tenth of a gram, and you'd be surprised how much you can lose while pouring from one container to the other.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and if you mix the oil with the polycose powder before adding the formula, it seems to mix better. Although, you may be using something different. We were using polycose powder, canola oil, water and RCF formula.<BR/><BR/>If you have any questions, I'd be glad to try to help you out. It is alot of work, but after a while it just becomes routine. I tease and say that I felt like a mad scientist working in my laboratory when I was mixing his formula! :-)<BR/><BR/>God bless you all during this transition. I PRAY it works for Dillon.<BR/><BR/>Alesha<BR/>www.xanga.com/akconklinAleshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735980324039032501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31477497.post-86218636053555359122008-05-08T19:37:00.000-04:002008-05-08T19:37:00.000-04:00Glad you are all back home.
