Feeling like a crazy mummy this evening. My little one is 4.5 months, suffering with painful gas and vomiting since about 4 weeks old. We had a tongue tie revised at 11 weeks which I feel made a huge difference to the amount he spits up, and he has stopped waking up being sick and getting conjested overnight. However he is still incredibly gassy, and it has just got worse and worse since christmas. I think teething is playing a big factor, but I just know deep down there is still something not right.
I decided to go dairy free to see if it helped (my nephew has cmpa so something I was already aware of), but my health visitor made me feel like I was just being an anxious first time mum when I mentioned trying going dairy free, and everyone else is 'worried about me' because I'm stressing about it, to the point where I feel like they all think I'm worrying about nothing. I also feel a huge amount of pressure to stop breastfeeding, firstly because it's been a very stressful journey and I havent coped well at times, but now because I feel like im being selfish wanting to breastfeed when potentially it's my milk making him so uncomfortable.
I'm not sure what my question is other than are there any other mums who have been through similar and what helped?! I dont know what to do next in terms of eliminating from my diet as it's either not dairy or it's something else as well. (Should add I'm waiting for a referral to a dietician, just hate sitting around doing nothing).
Thankyou to anyone who bothers to read through all this
