Breastfeeding and vomiting

My 4 week old has suddenly started to be quite sick after feeds and seems in a little discomfort. He does seem to drink from the breast quite fast and I struggle to unlatch him to try to slow him down. Anyone else had this or can suggest anything?

oh no really! Did you have to cut dairy out of your diet?

Yes she’s just turned 2 and we still don’t eat dairy! It was a pretty easy switch to be honest, it took a few weeks to get used to checking ingredients on everything but you get to know which of your usual foods have/don’t have dairy and there’s sooo many alternatives in shops now! ASDA, Tesco, Sainsbury’s have great ‘free from’ and plant based sections. We switched to oat milk, plant butter, coconut yogurts (she has a soya intolerance too, common with cmpa!). Any time I’ve had an accidental bit of milk her eczema has flared up so I know it’s still affecting her. I’m in no rush to reintroduce dairy for her to built a tolerance yet, we’re working on egg first 😅

I really recommend cutting it for a few weeks and seeing if your little one improves, it’s such a common allergy! My girl is cows milk, soya, egg, and peanut intolerant so it’s worth checking with other common allergens if cutting dairy doesn’t do it

It could be reflux :) x

My little one was exactly the same, he was diagnosed with reflux and was given infant Gaviscon, solved the problem within a few days

We had a period like this at about 4 weeks where little girl would bring up milk after feeds. She'd never been a sicky baby before that.
It seemed to be because my milk supply had suddenly increased, probably after an intense cluster feeding time. She was really gulping down the milk and struggling to cope with a fast letdown.
It did settle down by itself but feeding in a more upright position helped some. Like koala hold or similar. Check with your HV or GP if you're concerned though x

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

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?

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
