will try not make this too epic but really need some opinions/advice.
ds is 7 wks old. ebf and gaining weight very well. he was reffered to a pead for extreme fussing/uncomfortable behaviour. they suggested cmpi intolerance. his main symptoms that concern me are:
- very fussy feeder,pulls on and off, looks like he hates feeding!
-v bad wind/gas.
-grunts,strains and writhes around looking in pain. esp at night
- cries and draws legs up
- liquid poo and doesn't go often
- wakes alot at night but then just fusses at the boob
- little bits of sick and hiccups
- seems to have perm snuffle
he has a partial lip tie but apparently doesnt affect him. i don't think its reflux as he is fine lying down and often fine to go to sleep.
i have been mostly dairy free for 4 weeks but find it hard to stick to. esp trying to plan meals for the family but havent had dairy in its raw form.
so, do these symptoms sound like cmpi? what is it that i can't eat? for eg, am i okay to have a tiny bit of milk in tea?
hv has me doubting it is cmpi as she said its v rare in bf babies and we have no allergies in family inc prev dc's
how strict do i have to be? literally all food i have seen (soups , crisps etc) all seem to contain dairy in some form...
thank you
