I've been dairy free for almost two weeks now, just out of desperation really to see if it helps my breastfed 6-week-old.
He has really bad gas and dyschezia, and a bit of reflux (silent and regular). He can generally be quite fussy. He's also had congestion for over two weeks - I thought it was a cold, but maybe not.
He doesn't have any skin problems.
He does one poo a day. His poos before I went dairy free were runny, mustard-coloured, maybe with a tinge of green. He'd sometimes have extremely small green poos (like a smudge) in between his big poos. Note that the mass in the middle of the nappy in the photo isn't poo, it's just a fold in the nappy!
Since going dairy free, his poos seem thicker and more orange-brown. They actually seem to have more mucus in, but maybe that's from swallowing mucus during his cold.
Otherwise, I've noticed no change or improvement in his symptoms since going dairy free.
What do you reckon? Is this likely CMPA? Or is it likely normal baby stuff (albeit his wind and dyschezia is worse than most babies')
