CMPA concerns

My little girl was showing sings of colic so we tried infacol, gripe water and colief over time, they helped but stopped working quickly and made her constipated. She then developed more symptoms which could be a cmpa, the dr prescribed her gaviscon rather than changing her milk, I only gave it twice as it made her 1000% worse. In the meantime I've switched from kendamill to cow and gate comfort to try and help her, she's now extremely unsettled and very blotchy after feeds. I really don't know how to help her.

Can you push the gp to prescribe hydrolysed formula? My baby is so happy since being diagnosed with CMPI, he has normal pops just once or twice a day now not every nappy being a poopy one, and is happy and alert in his wake windows when before he was so miserable sometimes, was awful. What are her nappies like?

This happened to my daughter. She was on Kendamil. I had to push with the doctor for 2/3 weeks. Finally got prescribed Aptamil pepti 1.
She had mucus/blood in stools. Rash on face which would come and go. Sick constantly. Nasal congestion/hay fever symptoms. All symptoms have improved after changing milk just over a week ago.

Push harder for the right formula id cut out the kendamil it's made with whole milk fats and protein so it's absolutely full of casein which causes the allergy. You need to tell the GP they are giving you a 6 week trial and not leave until they do. GPs barely know anything so you need to demand a trial and an appointment with a dietician or you'll get nowhere x

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
