To cut a very long story short, it has taken me until this weekend to work out that my poor longsuffering dd may be sensitive to gluten, and since cutting it out of my diet I have had the first 3 untinterrupted nights' sleep since February - joy! Anyway, I'm back to work on Friday and had been freezing breastmilk for months in preparation and training dd onto the bottle. However, this frozen EBM will still contain gluten byproducts and will send dd back to bloatedness and bowel spasms. PROBLEM: got given hypoallergenic formula by hv and dd has point-blank refused them (Nutramigen and Neocate)... to the point that she will now no longer accept EBM from the bottle. So, I am going back to work with my dd refusing to feed. She only took in 8oz today between 7:30am and 7pm breast feeds. Is there light at the end of this tunnel? Tried a cup today, but most of the milk ended up down her front and I can't express enough to compensate for that! DH and granny have tried feeds too with the same results so it's not just me she plays up for.
