Does this sound like CMPA? I have a 10 week old exclusively breastfed baby who has suffered from (mostly) silent reflux since birth, really. She:
- Struggles to sleep on her back although is often okay on the playmat or changing table
- Has terrible reflux that I can hear coming up and down her throat, which causes her to scream. This is not usually the case with morning feeds but is often really awful after the late afternoon or evening feed. Then she splutters and sometimes chokes and cries unless held completely upright (i.e. I need to stand up - holding her up in a sitting position doesn't cut it)
- diarrhoea all the time - liquid tan coloured poos, often smelly, projectile explosive, and sometimes quite frequent (often four times a day or five, though sometimes only once or none)
- dry, scaly red patches on her arm
- eyelids often red and a little bit swollen looking (but the swelling is almost imperceptible)
- projective, violent vomiting a few times a week
- she once but only once had blood in her stools
My husband has asthma and allergies and I have eczema.
Could this be CMPA? I started to try to cut out cows milk and soya but I'm really struggling as I'm veggie.
