5 weeks post partum breast v allergy formula

[Feellikeimmfailing]

Feel like a failure my first child had CMPA, reflux and other allergies. I EBF until they were 12 months old and could transition to free from milk.

my new baby is 5 weeks old I have been dairy, Egg and Soya free for 3 weeks and they are still reacting, the reflux is that bad that I have to do a whole 10kg load of washing daily.

They are gaining weight but are very unsettled and uncomfortable and can’t be put down at all. They sleep very little and my first child 22 months old, has no time with me and is acting out and very upset by this understandably.

the baby is now on Lanzoprozole to try and control the reflux and things are worse! 😭😭😭😭

Thinking of switching to the allergy formula- pros and cons please?

I am very pro breastfeeding and really upset that it has come to this

Gosh all of this sounds incredibly hard. I have no experience of babies either allergies, it’s me with CMPA. Have you spoken to Allergy UK? And has LO been referred to a Paediatric Dietician and the Allergy Clinic?
