Yankee and Jeter update

Yankees0623 · May 2014

We finally have internet out here after AT&T having to come lay all new line (thanks to country living and wildlife).

Last we checked Jeter was 13.5 pounds. He's recently had conjunctivitis, a respiratory infection, and a stomach bug. He's eating 8 oz every 3 hours, but still isn't fattening up like he should.

His eczema has good days and bad (mostly bad). He has an Rx cream, Cetaphil, special laundry soap, special baby wash, special shampoo, and another lotion we use daily.

We're currently waiting on insurance to let us change our pcp in hopes of getting more answers.

Glad you posted. Sorry he is still struggling. Haveyou started solids?

I have been thinking about you too! Poor baby Jeter can't catch a break! I will continue to send vibes that things get better!

I hope you get some answers. Have you thought about trying donor breast milk? I just thought about that because of emmabobemma's post.

The thought has crossed my mind, but I don't even know where to start.

He has a jar of baby food mixed with rice cereal and 4 oz of formula once or twice a day.

And the new pcp will take place July 1st so I'm glad that's out of the way.

Hey LB! Sorry you guys are still struggling! They just opened a big donor me place in DFW. I'll try to find it and link it here for you.

It's by prescription, so maybe your new PCP would be willing to try it.

I don't know much about the different orginizations for milk donors but do they have donors so have done elimination diets? If he has such sever food allergies it might be hard to find donor milk that is free of all the things he's allergic to. Just keep that in mind.

Yes, from what I can tell, you can request allergy free donors.

So a really good friend of mine is going to pump extra to give Jeter some of her milk. Her daughter is just about 2 weeks younger than Jeter. She's going allergen free for him.

We did a trial run and Jeter was so happy with the breast milk. He sucked it down and was mad when it was gone. His skin started clearing up and he didn't throw up. This is HUGE for us.

That is great! And what a great friend to help you out like that!!
