Wanting some opinions

Hello all, I’m hoping for some opinions as to whether you guys think my daughter has CMPA.
Her sister had it when she was a baby so we have been very cautious with looking out for symptoms.

My daughter is only 11 days old and from about day 4, my daughter has started getting mucus in her poo which my eldest daughter got. She also gets quite fussy and windy after a bottle. I have since over the past 2 days put her into nutrimagen (we had some from my first daughter) and the mucus has decreased, she isn’t as fussy but sometimes will have outbursts of an hour or so where we cannot settle her . This does only happen once a day though. When she then burps (or sometimes sick quite a lot) she then settles. She sleeps like a newborn should sleep so it isn’t seeming to be effecting her at night. When she was on cow and gate she was a lot fussier but less sick but also had the mucus in her poo.

Does this sound like I should keep her on the nutrimagen or do we think I’m just being silly and she’s just an 11 day old.
My doctor said that 11 days is too young to show symptoms of CMPA but I’m just not sure!

I think as hard as it is, I would wait a few more weeks to switch. There are so many things going for a little one and their digestion. If she has it, other symptoms will apparently begin to show by the end of the two month mark. Just so that she's not put on a hyperallergenic formula if she doesn't need to be. I think its probably worse to avoid dairy if your baby doesnt have cmpa, because then they may end up at a higher risk of developing it due to avoidance compared to taking a few more weeks to see if symptoms get more obvious. Not sure if that helps at all. I know, it's a tough spot to be in!

We were continually dismissed about CMPA with my son until blood appeared in his poo at about 2 months. And while it was sad that it had to get to that point to get a diagnosis, it was also at least an obvious symptom for us to then be able to say, yes this is most likely what he has.

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
