Mucus poo despite giving up dairy and soya

Hi everyone, just wondered if anyone had found other allergies to be a problem alongside or instead of cmpa? My LG is 4/12 old and has always had silent reflux at night, painful bowel movements and mucus in stools. After an episode with blood in her stool about 6 weeks ago I cut out dairy. I have since cut out soya as she still had reflux on some evenings and 2 weeks ago gave up eggs for the same reason. I have been trying to keep a food diary and these seemed like the most obvious things to cut. I’m vegetarian so I’m reluctant to keep eliminating more and I am due to do a milk test next week. However my baby just passed this very painful very mucusy stool. She has had a few like this. Has anyone had similar and got to the cause? It’s really affecting our sleep as she is hard to put down due to the reflux then wakes up throughout the night with seemingly a painful tummy and very gassy 😩

You dont have to add chicken but i do
Purple Sweet potato, celery,cauliflower,broccli,cucumber,pumpkin,chayote, chiard, kale, and red mills 13 bean mix soaked for 8 hours rinsing well and adding all things together in a big pot with water and cooking for 1 hour then blending well and would mix with my breast milk, now i mix with organic almond milk

When my baby was born til two months she was severly colic, always uncomfortable-crying, would be constipated and would go almost a week not pooping, i decided to finally do the soup and within a week her stools came out everyday and solid like adult poop. It comes out looking so healthy, she wouldnt cry as often and this also helped with sleep. She used to cry til 4am ans then would finally sleep but for a few hours, after the soup she slept from 11 throughout the night ..

My baby is now 1 and her pediatrician said she was anemic and after the soup her anemia went away. My baby is so smart, her development and metabolism is doing amazing

Ours was dairy, eggs and fish - fish is a huge problem for him! So might be worth trying that? I’m so sorry, it’s a nightmare trying to figure it out xx

Mine is dairy, soya, and coconut

Thanks everyone. I don’t eat fish or much coconut at the moment but I guess there could just be something else. Other thing I realised is that if she was lactose intolerant then whatever I cut out would make no difference as she will still have the lactose from my breast milk. Going to trial Colief and maybe then some of the lactose free formula to see if that makes any difference to her symptoms 🤷🏻‍♀️

In addition to the ones you
mentioned top 8 allergens also include wheat, Tree nuts, peanuts, fish and shellfish. Sesame is also quite common

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

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
