OK, so the milkula experiment was a flop. It turns out Ellie has a sort of cow's-milk intolerance that leaves her sort of...well, solidified, if you catch my drift. As soon as she went on the milkula, she got unhappy. As soon as she went off it, happy again.
Apparently it's not all that uncommon, so we tried a day or two of soy "milk" (I, a fan of dairy in all its forms, hate to sully the good name of milk by associating it with a bean product), but being a bean product, it gave her a bubbly tummy. So that was no good.
So now she's on 75% Isomil soy-based formula (the same formula she's been on for a while) and 25% Nestle Good Start formula, which is cows'-milk based but is supposedly partly broken down for easier digestion.
What we'll do once the formula days are over is a bit up in the air. She probably can't ever really have that much milk if she wants to poop ever again, which she probably doesn't think much about now but is probably a good plan. Soy "milk" is straight-up nasty, but we might have to give it to her with gas-X or something.
By the way, Tina is a sicko. She thinks even the sweet goodness of organic whole milk is sour (compared to her coco-crispy chocolate milk, I guess it is) and actually likes the watery Edensoy yuck. She might push to give it to Ellie...well, I guess Ellie might have to get it, but man! will I be unhappy about that. Real people drink milk.
