Baby with formula and heat problem

My little baby had diarrhea for a week. First it started with just a few times a day and then each day it increases till 8 times a day. My mother told me it might be because she is teething and she urged us to take the baby to the pediatrician as soon as possible. I called up a sister-in-law and she said that if it’s a stomach virus, it should go away in a few days. After almost a week, my baby wasn’t getting any better and we took her to the pediatrician and she said the baby is allergic to the formula (soy) which we have been feeding the past few months. So we had to switch to the most expensive formula (Similac alimentum) for 2 – 4 months until the baby gotten better or even get over the soy formula. We can then slowly introduce her back to soy or regular formula. Even though the formula is more expensive but as parents, we are willing to cut back on ourselves and everything else to give what’s best for our baby. I am sure this is the same for most of the parents in the world.

The past two days had been around 90 degrees or more. We live on the top floor with only one working air conditioner. It’s very hot on the top floor. The one working air conditioner is in our master bedroom. We also have a portable air conditioner which the exhaust hose is broken while I cleaned it. We are looking to buy the replacement part as soon as possible. Our baby wasn’t able to sleep well even though the fan was on. She woke up almost every hour because she was hot and her back was damp. We are also looking to buy a wall unit air conditioner for our living room which we could live without while we were single. Now that our baby spends most of her day time in the living room, we have to keep the living room in the right temperature. You probably ask why didn’t I have the baby sleep in the master bedroom with the air conditioner on? There is no room and we do not want the baby to stay in our bed. We afraid we roll over at night and crush the baby while we sleep.

With all that said, we will be spending a lot of money on the air conditioner and formula for the baby the coming months.
