My daughter was exclusively breastfed for 4 weeks and we then moved to formula (hypoallergenic formula for suspected CMPA) which she has now been on for 5 days. I was dairy free whilst breastfeeding but have since been eating daily again. However, since moving to formula her reflux and general unsettledness has gotten worse and I feel so guilty! I am considering going back to breastfeeding however I have now had dairy in my diet again for 5 days. Also, I had been struggling with breastfeeding mentally (all the pressure on me and my toddler getting jealous etc).
Does anyone have any advice or been through similar?

i’ve been breastfeeding for 6 months now and i had to completely cut dairy, it’s been really difficult and i’ve had a few slip ups but honestly breastfeeding has just become second nature to me, it does get exhausting though cause my LO won’t take a pacifier and nurses frequently but, it’s easier at night for me personally. i do feel like i have less freedom though!
