have been breastfeeding dd4 for 9months rther successfully with no major issues.
but it has been agffecting her negatively. she has rashes, colicy, very loose stools, eczema etc. turns out she is allergic to m,ilk, egg and [peanut. i have been trying to get hold of the hospital dietican to sort out what i should be eating, avoiding and same for dd4. but cant get hold of them at all.
soph is mucousy and rattling as she breathes again. its not wheezing, so not an emergency, just the way she is when things get too much for her.
i feel i have been left holding a baby with a bottle of piriton in one hand, a script for formula in the other, and no idea of which way to turn.
i feel like i should be breastfeeding her, but feel guilty everytime she has a reaction after feeding. but i feel awful thinking about giving her formula.
