Welcome!

Hi mommas! My girl Evie has MSPI and we’re 6 months into the journey. She is fed expressed breastmilk so I have had to cut dairy and soy (including hidden) from my diet. Talk about torture😭😭. Not very many formulas are dairy/soy free but the select few that are come with a hefty price tag. I hope this group will help with questions and concerns surrounding babies intolerance (or allergy) to dairy/soy. It’s been a long journey for us and we still have a minimum of 6 months left. Pediatrician said she could grow out of it but not all babies do. Thanks for joining! ❤️❤️

Hi, I think my daughter has MSPI as well. The pediatrician initially thought she just had reflux but I started noticing some mucus and small streaks of blood in her stool. She is 2 months tomorrow and I am EBF. It’s been almost a month since I stopped all dairy and soy.

2 days ago I had a veggie burger that had corn in it and yesterday she had green mucous and some small specks of blood in her stool. Do you ever notice that your daughter’s stool will still have some mucus or did all completely disappear? I showed it to my pediatrician and she said it was normal to have some mucus. I’m not sure what else I should cut out of my diet. It’s been really challenging.

My daughter has the same thing and it is tough. I tried cutting everything out and it still didn’t work for my LO. She was just miserable. Luckily, while at the pediatrician she pooped and the doctor tested her stool and said there was blood in it. We couldn’t see it as it was microscopic but her stool was stringy and mucusy (sorry sounds gross). We were put on an amino acid formula which your right is very expensive but we were able to fight our insurance and it’s now going towards our deductible. Plus, the cans are cheaper through insurance! Feel free to reach out if you want to chat! It’s so frustrating!

hi! Sorry for the late replay, just seeing this. Yes!! He ended up being allergic to cow milk protein, eggs, and likely something else that we never pinned down. He can now have eggs and yogurt, though we still do non-dairy milk bc it sits better with him. He was still reacting to egg at about 9mo but was ok with baked egg, so i made him oat muffins with egg to give him some exposure. He’s 16mo now and doing well!

Nap times

My baby girl is currently 14 weeks old and we have been struggling with naps for a while now. We manage to get her down a few times a day however she does not sleep longer than 30 min.. I know this is the length of a sleep cycle so it is normal but she l never seems to be fully rested especially in the afternoon. She often wakes up looking tired but refuses to go back to sleep, or if I hold her and rock her to sleep there is no way of putting her down again. The evenings are a battle because of it as she gets over tired. Any tips or advise on how to lengthen her naps?

Long night wakings and exhaustion

My 4 week old wakes once/ twice in the night. Problem is that the wake period is really long. It’s not that he’s awake for the whole time, but he struggles to get comfy again in his next to me. It often means I’m awake from about 2-4am and then he wakes again around 6 and we don’t get back to sleep after that one. We don’t get to sleep until around 10:30/11 as that is when he has his evening feed. My toddler is also waking in the night too sometimes. I’m so so tired that I can’t think straight and I’m also doing nursery runs/ looking after a toddler at the same time as a newborn and just feeling really overwhelmed. My husband helps out but he’s back at work and is knackered too. Is anyone else having similar issues?

Is this true?

You can't enact your second amendment rights in an airport.
That's why they've sent ICE there.
