tummy troubles and sttn!

The past couple nights we've been dealing with major tummy troubles =[ I've had to completly switch to formula because I don't seem to be producing enough for DS. I started him on formula the week I went back to work but only when he seemed hungry after nursing for a bit and then also when I was at work. We would alternate between my freezer stash and the formula that way he could start getting used to it. Two nights ago I stopped nursing altogether. I'm not even engorged. It was real hard for me to pump at the same time every day when I was at work. I work retail and it's prom season. We are slammedddd. So needless to say it's impossible. And then when one manager tells me I need to pump on my half hour lunch..that makes it a bit harder for me. It was taking me quite a while to get even 2 oz out. And then I'm supposed to eat as well? Yea...one day I tried. I had about 5 min left on my break. The dr did tell me that constipation would def play a role in this. Which I'm assuming this is what he's going through especially now that he's have formula altogether now. He's still pooping ok though. So is this constipation or could it be something else? He occasionally spits up but nothing out of control. So I think the formula is ok for him? I'm giving him enfamil newborn. And he's been on it almost 3 weeks. I hope it passes soon. Last night he screamed for an hour. I felt so bad for him. I gave him some mylicon and after a while he was great.

On the other side..he actually STTN last night! He kind of did it twice already. But those other times he fell asleep around 12:30ish and woke up around 6ish to eat. So that wasn't too bad! Last night he finally went down at 11:30 and woke up around 8:15 to eat! Poor kid was exhuasted last night since his tummy was bothering him and wouldn't sleep. Hoping that tonight we will have some success again =]
