Update!
Hey ladies, sorry it's bean a while since the last update, things are a little crazy around here!
Berrit:
After our hospital stay she lost weight again. Prior to going in I had been on an MSIP diet for a week (eliminate all milk and soy protein), however, the dr's felt that since she was showing no GI signs of MSPI (vomiting, bloody or green poop) that it wasn't the issue. After I reintroduced dairy she lost weight and we tried her on a whey based formula. It seemed to work for a day and then she got fussy and lost weight again. After a day we switched her to a soy formula and she is doing great! She is finally up to 9 lbs (birth weight was 9 lb 3 oz) and is happy. I'm still pumping and saving milk for her to start reintroducing breastmilk and hopefully get her back to nursing in the next 2 weeks. She had GERD and lactose intollerance as the official DX as of now.
Me:
I am on my 3rd type or antibiotics for mastitis/random breast infection, they have me on 2 types right now plus an anti-fungal med for preventing another yeast infection in my boob. After 4 ultrasounds this week, and 4 appts with a breast specialist and infectious disease specialist, they still have no idea what's going on. Pretty much, I have until Tuesday's appt to get better or I'm getting a skin biposy and meeting with a surgeon. They took cultures of my breast milk yesterday to make sure there's nothing in the milk that could be causing the infection. I get to keep pumping 6+ times/day to keep my boob "empty" and keeep my supply up for B. I'm just hoping we can get some answers before S goes out of town next weekend.
Thanks for all the T&P's ladies, I'll try and update you on the boob and baby when we know more.
Re: Update!
I'm so glad that B is finally starting to do better! Hopefully you can get her back on breast milk as soon as you want
As for your infections/mastitis, I just want to cry for you every time you update, I'm so sorry you're going through this!! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers to get better ASAP!
This I hope things get much better soon!
Glad to hear she is doing better!!
Hope they figure out something for you soon!

Glad B has been figured out and taken care of.
Your situation sucks. You have all my boob vibes.
What happens if the antibiotics don't work?
