I know we're not doctors- but WWYD?

Backstory- Rory has had some skin problems since birth.  Last time we went to the doctor (May 4), he said try some cream, if it didn't work, we'd switch to a soy formula.  It wasn't working, so I emailed him to ask if we should switch to soy.  He didn't get back to me so I switched anyway (on Thursday).

Yesterday he wrote back and said don't switch, just keep using the cream and wait until our next appointment.  Here's my question- would you switch back?  I know it's only been two days, but her skin does look better.  But she's also constipated now.  

WWYD?  Like I said, I know we're not doctors and I guess I should've waited to hear what he said, but I just assumed he would say to switch.

    What are the skin problems? is it something that's bothering her? I probably wouldn't go too crazy changing her formula unless the skin problems are serious.

    Yeah I think it depends on what the problem is as well.  DS#1 has always had horrible "chicken skin" or Keratosis Pilaris.  His pedi says he has one of the worst cases she's seen, but there's not much you can really do for it.

    I switched formula without asking/talking with my pedi. I say just stick with the new formula and tell your pedi the truth. You switched before you heard back from them and this is the result. I heard that when you switch formula you need to try it for at least 2 weeks and since you have already switched stick with it for two weeks or when your next appt is. When I switched formula for gassy reasons I did see a change in her poop schedule, it went from daily to every two to three days. I talked with my pedi (after) and she said it was fine as long as the poops werent hard.
