We've made it through 4 whole days on Elecare, and it's going very well overall! I'm finding that I have to remind Jalen often to drink his formula. I made it with no sugar yesterday, and he didn't like it as well and it was harder for him to drink. So this morning I added two heaping teaspoons of sugar into the blender with the can of Elecare.
I was also able to make some sugar water popsicles yesterday out of equal parts sugar and water. I got the traditional plastic popsicle-maker cups from Michaels, and also some rubbery popsicle-shaped ice trays that came with plastic handles you insert into slots so the popsicles freeze around the sticks (like a very long lollipop). They were ready to eat this morning, so I gave Jalen one after breakfast.
I was fighting some serious Chick-Fil-A urges while out with the kids yesterday. I really don't want any fast food smells in the car, as that would just be torture for Jalen, but man is it hard! I was good though, and ate a salad when I got home.
On the poop front...Jalen had a tiny bm this morning, the first in about a week. So I had him insert a glycerin suppository just now. We have Miralax, and I may have to resort to giving him that (highly nasty, but other kids on formula are taking it). Apparently, constipation is par for the course when on an elemental diet.
