You ladies are so sweet. My mom's unnecessary commentary was "When you give him the formula, he's going to look at you and wonder what he did wrong." UGH. No, he's going to be happy his tummy isn't hurting him and glad his mama wants him to be healthy and isn't listening to his grandma.
Whaaaaat. Really bad timing on that comment. Hang in there! Hope this resolves his tummy issues.
lilyelayne Jack London square is awesome. I love going the tunnel to get to the square. We only venture to JLS or the Oakland Coliseum for Oakland A's game.
Funny story, we went to an Oakland raider football game a couple years ago. Granted we had box seats.... While we were tailgating, BIL thought it would be fun to walk through the tailgate parties. We walked through one section that was rooouuuugh. If my DH was not 6'4'' and 250lbs, I would of been really worried. Let's just say I kept my head down and kept walking.
SF's museums are awesome. I can't wait to take DS to them when he is older. I will have to try and relax about the germs factor though.

He will be happy! ETA: hit post too soon. You did everything you could. A lot more than some people, including myself, would do in order to continue to breastfeed. I wouldn't have been able to cut out all the things in my diet like you did. This wisconsin girl needs her dairy. You did amazing. I hope your mom realizes that.

Wow i think he'd be the first kid in history to wonder what he'd done wrong! Glad you're not letting it get under your skin!
Update on Baby Jamie: She has been taken off her feeding tube and oxygen. She will be monitored without the support for 24 hours and if she does well with feedings, she should be able to head home. Thank you for all of the prayers.
I haven't been following all of the posts lately. T&Ps!!! Not sure if this is your LO or not but, yay for progress!

Thank you. She's DH's best friend's baby. She was born at 36 weeks last Thursday.
cginge I am glad you got into a pedi quickly and have a plan of action. I hope the transition to formula goes smoothly and works wonders for your LO. Your mom's comments suck. A lot. (I am trying to be nice here) I am really sorry she decided to say something like that to you.

Love tit for support. Your mom is crazy if she thinks your kid would rather have intestinal bleeding than formula. Hope this is the fix you need (permanent or temporary or whatever is best for you both)! You're doing awesome.

He will be so happy his tummy is full and not upset whatsoever! That was a really shitty comment and not fair to someone who has tried everything. Your LO needs this to feel better, how can ensuring that be wrong?
cginge Hugs. I've been there so I know exactly how you feel. Hoping the Nutramigen works out for you. (We ended up having to move on to a more expensive elemental formula.) And your mom's comment is ridiculous. I'm glad you're not letting her bother you.
@lottsofdotts, we have something similar in our kitchen. We tried to put a layer of magnetic paint under the chalkboard paint and that was big fail. Then I stained it right away by using chalkboard paint marker thingys instead of plain chalk. There will always be a faint memory of that Thanksgiving Day menu on it.
I was going to use the magnetic stuff because I had some that was in the utility closet from the previous owner. Yeah, eight years of sitting on the shelf made the magnetic paint one big lump of mess in the can. I'm glad you said this because I wasn't sure if the markers would work on it. I was afraid it would stain, so I think we are going to stick to old school chalk.
At my ILs. Came to the guest bedroom to nurse my screaming angry baby. Handed him off to DH when I was done and stayed in the guest bedroom by myself. So tired of being screamed at today.

The magnetic stuff is one big lump. That's one reason I was so mad it didn't work. I stirred it for like an hour and put 7 coats on and it still didn't work.
Haha! I had no idea. I started to stir and saw that it was a lump and thought "hell no." I don't have time for something like that.

Ugh, sorry you've had such a crappy day. I did the same thing last weekend when we stayed at my ILs. Take advantage of the extra hands and take a break in privacy for a while!
Thanks wimcgrath & @holachica. Yes I've read that coffee+crumbs. Did you mention it before? I absolutely look forward to weekends more now than when I was working.

Oh jeez, I must have done something so terrible at birth or in utero that I was never on my mum's tits. Tell me you at least gave her an eye roll.
