3 Months and update on Briggs

I know we are about a half of month behind but we have been soooo busy with this sweet boy and trying to get his diet (and mine) figured out. He seems to be on the uphill swing of things with a little set back the past couple of days because I started milk back in my diet and I am pretty sure that his little tummy cannot handle it right now. I am now back on a dairy free diet and plan to stay that way for a couple of months and then try it again. It is NO fun but I am learning how to make it work.

We followed up with the speech therapist who confirmed what we all had been thinking. Briggs has developed on oral aversion. He knows when he eats it hurts and so therefore I'm not going to eat. The SimplyThick has been a huge help and he if finally eating 24-29 oz per day. We went in for a weight check the day before Thanksgiving and he had gained 8 oz in 9 days!! We were so proud of him and I finally had some stress lifted off of me. It is still a work in progress but I really think that we are going in the right direction.

If anyone has any helpful websites for dairy/milk- free diets and recipes please feel free to send them my way!! Say a little prayer that we continue this directions.
