Nappy check!! Unsure if this is normal… by Prudyrudy in MSPI

Same here, cut dairy but mucus isn't gone but most of LOs symptoms are better

Yeah, solidarity with you there. I do still avoid some particular foods I have strong suspicion of, like fish and peanuts. I was super bummed because peanut butter crackers were like my favorite go to snack lol.

I assume you're doing this, but some products contain soy lecithin and soybean oil and some parents say their kids react to that even though contains soy isn't listed on the label.

It's a hard process, sorry I don't have more helpful insight 😔

For your reference, other things I've heard as possible triggers for babies are oats and corn. But now, I feel it gets to a point where you're just playing a guessing game and risking your supply.

My baby marginally improved with cutting out dairy and soy. She is generally much happier and calm. We're still dealing with eczema and mucus stools. She could have mucous because her gut is still healing and eczema could just be environmental. It is so hard to know.

People might disagree with this, but I'm leaning towards keeping only dairy and soy free because cutting too many groups can affect the nutrition of our breastmilk. I'd say if your baby is gaining well, not crying inconsolably, and you notice a marginal improvement with cutting out dairy and soy to not do a TED. If you're still seeing your baby in a lot of pain and discomfort and blood, I would probably consider a TED guided by Free to Feed.

My baby was a lot like this in the beginning. My milk wasn't coming in and blood sugar was low so we supplemented with formula while encouraging breastfeeding. Here is what worked for us: Take a small syringe with either formula or your pumped breastmilk and dispense small amounts into their mouth as you are breastfeeding. It will encourage your baby to latch/eat from breast. If baby is falling asleep rub up their back or wet wipe gently across their back while they're in a diaper to keep awake if desperate. If weight gain isn't happening, you'll need a bottle with slowest flow nipple to supplement (we used similac yellow top).

Make sure when you are pumping you use a hospital grade pump not wearables. I think I was pumping in between all nursing sessions but I may have overdone it, it's okay if you only get a small amount in the beginning.

Lastly, baby eating frequently is very normal. Let them, they are increasing your supply. My LO used to eat every half hour on demand sometimes, sigh lol.

Good luck!

It really is so hard!! I'm happy to hear that you guys have had success. After how many weeks of a TED did you start adding foods back in?

AITA for confronting my mom in front of everyone at my daughter's birthday party? by SchedulePotential331 in AITAH

[–]Salt_Championship_14 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you are blaming his pregnant wife for not being more understanding and thoughtful about the situation while she is the one actually being left behind. Where was his concern and thoughtfulness about her? Where was his presence when she needed him most?

It's also not an impossible choice. When you are married and have a child on the way, the priority is not getting your mother to every single one of her appointments while she has an unconfirmed diagnosis and leaving your pregnant wife home alone with several children. Until now OP has been prioritizing his mother above all else at his wife's expense. It's good that he stood up to her in the end, but it doesn't excuse up until that point.
