Does this sound like CMPA?

My son is 13 weeks and has been vomiting a lot since around 6 weeks. I would say he throws up around 30 times a day, usually a large amount but sometime just a little bit. The sick is always curdled. It happens directly after a feed or sometimes hours after. It is not like it dribbles out of him, there is definitely force behind it, but it is also not projectile like where it could land on the other side of the room. He’s not bothered but is immediately hungry after and so I am feeding him constantly when he’s not sleeping or throwing up. He is also always constipated (poos about once a week). His poos always smell of vinegar. He gained weight very quickly the first two months before symptoms started (about a pound a week) but this has slowed down tremendously. He’s gaining less than 100 g a week at the moment. I went to the GP who suggested CMPA and for me to cut out dairy from my diet. I’m just curious whether anyone has experienced similar (mild ish) symptoms with CMPA? Many CMPA stories I read on here sound much more severe with extreme pain and crying etc. He’s exclusively breastfed at the moment.

The vomitting yes sounds like my experience of children with CMPA. My children had very frequent watery and mucus poos but comstipation is also a symptom of CMPA.

Over half of babies with cmpa are also allergic to soya so don’t add this to you’re diet. Make sure you’re getting enough calcium, vitamin D and iodine. Good oat milks will have added iodine.

My little boy (EBF) also had fairly mild symptoms so wasn’t diagnosed until 8 months when he was weaning and reacted to cows milk. He was sick a lot as you’ve described but everyone I spoke to said he was just a very sicky baby. looking back I think his nappies were quite mucous but (as silly as it sounds) as a first time parent I didn’t really know how they were supposed to look!

He was generally well though, very content and gaining weight well, he actually went up to a higher centile. I noticed a reduction in his vomiting very quickly, within the first week of being dairy free.

Yes it does but the only way to tell us exclude dairy and soya, see if it improves and then if it does, 'challenge,' with the yogurt protocol and see if symptoms return.
