CMPA Symptoms

EBF as well was diagnosed around 4 weeks old I am still breadtfeeding but now have a dairy free diet and he still has the odd bad day but is sooo much better I couldn’t bring myself to give him the special milk as doctor said it tasted like crushed paracetamol but they will drink it if really hungry ☹️

Really uncomfortable screaming and crying around 10 minutes after a feed and this could last pretty much until the next one

Arching back and kind of rolling around

Dry skin/ rash around eyebrows

Mucous (looks like little strings) in every dirty nappy

Red pin prick type rash over whole body

Struggling to go to the toilet and when he did was a complete explosion

Projectile vomit hours after his feed

Sounded like he was struggling to breath and coughing and gagging after being fed and congested

Reflux symptoms (mostly gagging all the time)

Hope this helps xx

I had to push for the diagnoses tho as he was still gaining weight really well where most babies won’t if they have CMPA but after the improvement in him there’s no way he doesn’t have it x

thanks so much! Do you mind if I message you privately for more details please?

my daughter is gaining weight really well too. What did they do to give you the diagnosis? Did they do tests etc?

Since you're not taking the special milk and still EBF, apart from having a non-dairy diet, are you doing anything differently?

No of course you can I will give you a message now x

My girl has the same symptoms as Kate’s little one, she’s 6 weeks! I have cut dairy, soy and beef out so far these are the trigger foods I’ve found, also check every label on what you eat!! As some are sneaky xx

My bubs is 10 weeks we were diagnosed couple weeks ago. He’s formula fed but showed signs of extreme colic, crying for hours at night. Stools would go from runny to constipated I’m talking pebbles! Bad reflux and silent reflux. He hadn’t had a rash but I know that you should cut out dairy if BF.

They’re very reluctant to diagnose and idk why if you’re BF xx
