Formula

It's amazing how Dominic's personality changes when he does not get the MCT formula that he needs. I ordered last week but someone messed up at Vitaflo and so I called frantic yesterday that the formula is still not here. So last night was his last formula bottle. For the night feeds I breast fed only, then breastfed this morning again. By 9:30am he just wanted to sleep and has been so fussy. In 8 hours not having the MCT formula = a fussy over tired baby. We received the overnight shipment today and I gave him a bottle, he's back to his normal happy self. I'm shocked at how the lack of Medium Chain Fats affect him. It makes sense though because he cannot burn the Long Chain Fats for energy, with out the Medium fat he can burn he had no energy.
I hope to not run out of the formula or MCT oil when we start that. I'm gonna have to figure a way to have a good stock pile of it.
