Hello, first post on here and hoping for some advice.
My LO is 10 weeks old and has quite bad reflux. On advice, 3 weeks ago I eliminated dairy from my diet as a trial. He's also had been on ranitidine for just over 2 weeks. For the last week or so, he has been much happier both after feeds and in general which has been lovely, like a different baby!
However, I wasn't sure what caused it...dairy free or meds...so I reintroduced dairy yesterday (made up for lost time with half a tub of Ben and Jerry's! ) He's been very refluxy for the last few hours in his cot and seemed in discomfort. Horrible to think it could be down to what I ate, though he does still have the odd unsettled night so thinking I may have a little dairy today and observe over the next few days to make sure. If dairy does turn out to be the culprit, will it take another 2-3 weeks for it to leave our systems or (hopefully) will it be quicker if I've only been eating it for a couple of days? Thanks in advance
