Started weaning DC2 and she had an immediate reaction to cows milk so we’re now waiting for a dietitian referral.
She’s had symptoms that could be explained by CMPA for months but also general baby stuff (colicky/reflux, snotty/coughing). She’s gained lots of weight and her nappies were totally fine.
Whilst waiting for the dietitian referral, I’ve been advised to totally cut out dairy - which I have done. We’re less than a week in and already her eczema on her face is clearing up and she’s been less grumpy.
The dilemma/issue I have is that she’s never enjoyed taking a bottle, so until weaning was EBF. We’re going on holiday in June for three weeks. I want to be able to enjoy my holiday and eat all the cheese etc. If she happily took a bottle, I’d feel significantly less guilty about potentially stopping breastfeeding. However, it’s a challenge (although she has taken a couple of expressed milk bottles recently). I also don’t feel ready to stop and feel sad that it might end this way.
My reasons for stopping would be selfish but I don’t want to not enjoy my holiday. The whole situation is stressing me out and I just don’t know what to do.
I also feel really guilty that we should’ve looked into CMPA earlier and she might’ve been a more content and happier baby.
