Breastfeeding diet

My 9 week old is exclusively breastfed. He has been struggling with poor digestion/gas/colic and I think he might have sensitivity to something(s) I am eating. Has anyone struggled with similar and tried any elimination diets? Or seen a particular specialist who has helped? Any advise to point me in the right direction much appreciated 🙏

Cut all dairy you are consuming. He may have CMPA.
Do some research and see if he ticks any of the boxes

I’ve just cut dairy (11wk old) and am considering cutting egg too

My little girl was diagnosed with cmpa since 3 months old. She would be sick after every feed, and would have lots of gases. She then started passing blood on her stools with lots of mucus as well, we took her to the GP and A&E on the same day, both of them said the same thing, that I should cut dairy from my diet and so I did. She improved immediately, she was on 50th centile for weight, she then jumped to the 91st and 98th, and she stopped being sick all the time. So I know it's painful cutting dairy but if you need any tips I will be happy to help xx

Loss & Grief

On October 14th, I lost my old girl, Emma. My younger dog (Zeke) became very ill the night she passed. I thought he was mourning, but it soon became apparent that he was genuinely sick. He had exploratory surgery and they found lymphoma. I haven’t been able to process the grief from Emma’s death because I’ve been so caught up in saving Zeke. I’m so overwhelmed and sad. I don’t know how to balance being a mom, Speech & OT, losing my girl, and chemotherapy for my baby dog. I feel like I’m spiraling.

Head Preferences adjustment exercises?

Hi friends, my 5 week old has a bit of a preference for his left side when lying down. At 2 weeks the pediatrician noticed it (at the time, he practically refused to move his head to his right) and suggested massaging his neck after bath time to loosen the tight muscles.

Just had an appt today and while he’s gotten better, he still prefers his left side. His head isn’t misshapen or anything, honestly I’m probably worrying for nothing, but pediatrician said to “keep up with the exercises” to strengthen and loosen his muscles.

I am still sleep deprived and can barely string two thoughts together, but what “exercises”? All she said was to massage him for the issue. We do morning stretches and the black and white cards with him and other various things, but is there anything specific to keep up with for this specific issue other than massages?

Additionally, what are your morning/evening stretch routines with LO’s? Always looking to add to his “curriculum”.

Bestie

I need a bestie to rant to about me falling and having a seizure 😂😅I have no one to rant to about this and my husband refuses to laugh about it with me 😂

Reassurance needed!

Baby is 5 months and WILL NOT nap for longer than 30’mins - pretty sure he’s not linking sleep cycles.

Feeling really down about it and seeing other babies his age take longer oh 1-2 hour naps is making me spiral.

Any non first time mums out there can reassure me?

Currently feeling like he will never nap for longer than 30 minutes and this is my life now,
