Have you tried Fast Track? Another thing to add to the food--but, especially when she starts eating on her own--it adds various probiotics and should help with the stomach problems. You might check into baby simethicone too. When I try to add too much "stuff" to Kitty's food, she flat refuses any of it.
Good luck and many blessings. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nina" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 3:23 AM Subject: Re: Gracie > My two dear Kerrys, > Thank you for letting me know you're thinking of us.
