There are a lot of reasons but mostly the fact that it simply is not calorie rich enough. We still have to add large amounts of formula to it to make Hope gain weight. We have done this all along. So regardless of what we start with, Hope still has to tolerate breast milk.Amy Koslowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15614092149616333620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620800315071767228.post-30226473760082093402012-12-22T21:14:17.049-07:002012-12-22T21:14:17.049-07:00I also am wondering about donor breast milk!!!

I saw your photos on your FB -- such wonderful pictures of your girls and you and Shawn. As I pray for you and your family I have been praying <br />Psalm 130:1,2 "Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications." May God give you strength and courage for each day!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364499953456346754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620800315071767228.post-1027769007545109312012-12-20T13:11:33.626-07:002012-12-20T13:11:33.626-07:00Oh Amy, I am so sorry you are having to travel thi...Oh Amy, I am so sorry you are having to travel this long and tiring journey.

Praying for strength & peace for you as you stand up for your daughter and for much support during this time. Praying for Hope's body to heal & that you will indeed be home for her 1st birthday party! Amy, as I look at these incredible pictures, I see Hope & I see such strength in her little body! She feels your strength & your faith as you stand with her & defend for her and as you trust in God. Many prayers & thoughts for you & your sweet family! I will continue to lift you up whenever you come to mind (which is often) over this season!

I was listening to "Grown Up Christmas Wish" yesterday and there is a line of hoping for time to heal our hearts and I felt that song was for you.. Your photos are lovely...your girls are beautiful.. and you deserve a happy and healthy turn.. I am praying the procedure goes well and you get some answers... some helpful ones and that it all clicks and then it's just a solid path of getting better...

My baby girl is the same age as your Hope (born last April). I realize how much we take our good health for granted, how I've been able to enjoy these precious 8 months with my girl in my arms at home. It saddens me to realize how I can get frustrated with such trivial things when I have soooo very much to be thankful for. Thank you for sharing your story, for being so transparent. I have prayed many times for you, your baby girl, and your family. I pray that no matter where you ending up spending your Christmas this year, that God will show Himself so wonderfully to you and your family, that you will feel His constant presence, give you joy in the midst of this trying journey, and that God would see fit to grant you your miracle healing for this precious little one. What a comfort it is to know that our God loves our children even more than we do!!

May the God of the Universe do what HE needs to do, with your little Hope, your family, and your hospital professionals. I pray that there is no more mistakes made, that the Dr's do what is best for Hope, and that you will be given Peace as you live through these days!<br />God sure does love you, and is very proud of you, for Trusting Him through this very difficult season of life!<br />Beautiful pics!!! thanks for sharing them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620800315071767228.post-72047631669386484732012-12-19T19:52:20.289-07:002012-12-19T19:52:20.289-07:00Your family is lovely.
