Did Dairy-free BFing work for anyone?

[Annarose2014]

DS (6 wks) diagnosed as CMPI last Monday, I've been strictly dairy-free ever since. The GP said it would take 2 weeks to leave my system ompletely & gave us some Aptamil Pepti to supplement with in the meantime.

The difference on the formula was instantaneous - baby was no longer in pain!

But I've been trying to reduce it as my dairyfree days clocked up & now he hasn't had formula since xmas eve. And he was in pain all night and all this morning. Literally sobbing himself awake with the cramping.

I know the GP said 2 weeks but come on, surely it should be improved?? This is so distressing.

Thanks BNmum! By the time ds stopped bfeeding we had started reintroducing foods so he was able to have soya 1+ (which I think is aimed at little ones) at bedtime in place of milk, although to be honest he kind of lost interest in bedtime milk anyway so I just made sure he was getting calcium and vits elsewhere in his diet. We didn't go for any formula in the end.

Annarose I hope all is well with your lo x
