Spoke to my friend about some symptoms my EBF 6 week old is having and she suggested it may be cows milk allergy. Just wanted to see if anyone agrees. About two weeks ago she started with a rash on her face, neck and shoulders. GP via video call said it was baby acne. She also is super gassy- brings knees upto tummy, squirms when on her back, spits up frequently, vomits a whole feed up around once a day. She’s always passing wind and when she does she poops at the same time, her nappy is basically always dirty with really loose, watery yellow/green poop. She has nappy rash from always pooping despite barrier creams, frequent changing, nappy free time etc. Sometimes she gets really fussy and cries at the breast too, especially in the evening. She’s also quite congested and often sounds snuffly. Anyway I don’t know if this is all separate issues, I read only 0.5% of EBF babies have cows milk allergy so don’t want to alter my diet so drastically if not necessary!
