Logan is 4 weeks old today. It's amazing that it has already been a month. We have had some trying times the last few weeks. He has a very sensitive stomach like his mommy and I hate it. We have changed his formula 4 times already. We now have him on a hypoallergenic formula called Nutramagen and he is doing ok on it. We had him on Soy and he was doing pretty good until last Thursday when I found some blood in his poopy diaper. The pediatrician said that he is allergic to soy protein and we had to take him off of it. Sunday we ended up taking him to the immediate med because he was uncontrollably crying and we were afraid something was wrong. The doctor checked him out and said that everything was fine and that we need to keep him on the Nutramagen formula. They told us to feed him every 4 hours instead of every 2.5-3. His tummy is sensitive and the time between feedings has to be increased so it has enough time to digest. The doctor told us that we should start seeing a difference in about a week or two. He has done pretty good since then. Feeding every 4 hours is actually easier than we thought it would be. He gets a little fussy before the 4th hour, but a little cuddling, pacifier and Mylicon seem to be keeping it under control.

Also, we tried to take him to get some pictures done last week and he was not very happy. We had to cut it short. We will try again sometime soon and I will post pics as soon as I can.

Until then, enjoy the updated pictures!
