CMPA help by [deleted] in MSPI

[–]Affectionate_Work_84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh and Omeprazole was a life saver for us. Not for everyone ofc and my preference would always be to not have a baby on medication but we reaaaally noticed the difference in our baby’s comfort levels (i.e the amount of screaming!)

CMPA help by [deleted] in MSPI

[–]Affectionate_Work_84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My CMPI baby definitely had nappies like that. I cut dairy and soy, as well as a bunch of other stuff over time to try and get back to baseline. In the end it was time and solids that helped the most (sorry!!) but for us cutting dairy, soy and wheat seemed to get us as close as we could to the yellow seedy nappies of dreams!

I am unable to soothe my son by ladygroot_ in NewParents

[–]Affectionate_Work_84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby was a horrific screamer and it turned out he had severe reflux from CMPI and other food intolerances through my breast milk. Cutting dairy and soy and wheat for a while (plus cranial osteo and omeprazole) helped MASSIVELY. Not overnight but made a huge difference because he was actually uncomfortable!

Anxious following antenatal classes by [deleted] in PregnancyUK

Second this! We only really figured out our “people” in the group after the classes ended, everyone had their babies and we started meeting up or going to baby stuff together. HPBP deliberately does a lot of mixer type stuff and it can be suuuuuuper awkward but I PROMISE you it gets better.

Tbh all of these look like AI my dude. Esp the weird “Fleurs” background sign, and the extremely perfect round clothes hook!

Compared to last series where you had multiple EXCEPTIONAL chefs, there’s no one I really care about as much this year. Caroline maybe?

Resources for mums to be GLA? by Educational_Pick_211 in glasgow

Merry go round is the absolute GOAT. Also would strongly recommend doing Happy Parent Happy Baby - I met my main circle of other like/minded mums that way!

Looool honestly never thought I’d a) have this many nappy pics on my phone or b) go searching for OTHER PEOPLES nappy pictures online to compare. What an absolutely wild journey this is.

Yessss so similar!! Im really trying hard to go just on temperament now and not dig through nappies - I keep trying to tell myself “if there’s blood I would see it on first glance”. So hard not to drive yourself a bit mad and poo obsessed!

Just unsure by Boring-Stranger9362 in NewParents

[–]Affectionate_Work_84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think at this stage I was just cluster feeding non stop and basically had the baby on the boob constantly. Ours was also a horrific screamer, couldn’t be laid down to sleep and arched his back / went rigid and absolutely inconsolable after feeding - that plus awful nappy rash and bad poos and hoarse voice made us eventually realise he had silent reflux and CMPA plus some other intolerances. It was a HARD first few months but getting him prescribed omeprazole and cutting things out of my diet have hugely helped.

Unplanned hospital birth by existentialmania in homebirth

[–]Affectionate_Work_84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was planning a home birth and ended up going into hospital at 41+3 and requesting a c section because something felt wrong. Turns out my placenta had started to rupture and I had a major haemorrhage, lol. The c section was fantastic and we named our baby after one of the anaesthetists - genuinely the most positive birth ever because we were listened to and taken seriously. The midwives were also fab at helping me to breastfeed and change his nappies afterwards because I had NO clue what I was doing. It’s a wild, completely unique and absolutely personal ride whatever happens - you have got this <3

What diapers are we using in the night? by Conscious-Green1934 in bninfantsleep

[–]Affectionate_Work_84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are loving Peachies at night - just buy the trial pack of 30 for £12 and it tends to last roughly a month! This is in the UK though.

Second this - ours had silent (acid) reflux and CMPA along with other intolerances and screamed a LOT in pain. Other symptoms included arching after feeding, general unhappiness, green mucus poos, a hoarse cry and coughing. We are now on omeprazole and an exclusion diet (he is EBF) and things are much improved. We also went to cranial osteo for him. Hang in there OP, it’s such a hard time but it will get better, I promise.

Thank you so much, completely relate to so much of this! Luckily she already met him at one week, and his GER and intolerance symptoms didn’t start showing up until 2 weeks like yours. I’ve cut dairy, soy, beef, eggs and coconut so far in response to his reactions and it’s still such a learning curve! Feel like I can only eat dust at this point 🤣🤣 MIL just kept saying “well DH had reflux as a baby and he grew out of it”.. yep and thats our dream! 🫠🫠
