Today I made a dr. appt. The dr thinks Alex has lactose intolerance so he told me to switch to soy formula. Try that until he has normal poo and for a week after that. Then give him regular formula and see if he gets diarrhea again. If he does, then Alex is lactose intolerant.
So, on to the fever mystery and all that sleeping. Alex has coxsackie virus. It's quite gross. That's the reason he had fever, whiny, snotty nose, cough, sleepy, etc. They took a blood test and the virus is in his body full force.
Poor baby. Hopefully tonight he will sleep through the night. Last night Patrick was up with him from 1230am to 330am. I hope the new formula makes a difference.
