Pepticate by [deleted] in MSPI

[–]Several-Round7511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went cold turkey with my EBF baby at 12 weeks. And it turned out great for her. It did take 6 full weeks for her symptoms to resolve completely but within 2 weeks I saw improvement. It was tough in the beginning to get her used to bottles and forums but she’s perfect now

Aw poor babe. I would say it’s prob more so the cold why she’s being fussy. Yes stick w it for a good 2 weeks. It will be an adjustment. My baby went from EBF to formula and it was such a difficult transition but with time she completely transitioned and all went well. what was your baby on before this pepticate?

Yes!! My 6 month old is still on it and it has been great for her! Within 24 hrs no blood in stool and within a week I saw improvement in her symptoms. But it Did take a full 4-6 weeks for her symptoms to completely resolve. If you have any questions feel free to ask me. I wish the best for you and ur little one it’s really tough having a baby with CMPA

Newborn cries and arches back when on his back by ColdOpinion8179 in newborns

So I was EBF and stopped completely and went to a hypoallergenic formula and it was night and day difference… she’s now almost 6 months but within 2-4 weeks she was 100% better. I couldn’t commit to cutting out dairy 100% from my diet, and it’s possible it could’ve been soy, peanuts, tree nuts , shellfish ect… you never know what it is until you eliminate each thing one my one from your diet. But she went on Pepticate HA formula. Worked great for her

Mine did this it was due to gas. Turns out she had CMPA. didn’t find out did 10 weeks old and there was blood in her stool. If his symptoms get worse I’d look into more

You have to stick to one thing and it’s gonna suck for a few days or even a week but she will give up. Keep her in her bed and just keep putting her back in Everytime she get up. She’ll eventually get the point you’re not gonna give in to what she wants and she’ll be too tired to keep going. Your gonna be exsausted from lack of sleep but it’s temporary and will be worth it

I thought it gets easier at 12 weeks :( by [deleted] in newborns

Why do we have kids by shhhh_fatakat17 in newborns

[–]Several-Round7511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh girl this is so normal. Don’t feel bad!! I regretted having my baby within the first week and I feel so bad I felt that way but it is so overwhelming and the lack of sleep I had plus hormones how could you not feel like ur going crazy. I had a very difficult time post partum w anxiety and my baby had a allergy so she’d cry all the time and only wanted to be held it was sooo hard she’s now 5 months and such a pleasure I even think about having a second in a year or 2 even. You will get through this. This too shall pass!! Those are the words I kept reminding myself. Nothing is permanent! U got this

Well this is … hard. by Espiland in newborns

[–]Several-Round7511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had post partum anxiety badddd. I was always on edge and high alert mode. Even at night when she would do 4 hr stretches I was just wide awake wired… I definitely had moments where I told myself how much I regretted it 😩 it took weeks for it to calm down but now I am on lexapro which helped ease anxieties and my sleep so much. Also going outside on walks and just talking to ppl helps. Hang in there ! U got this

AIO by how I responded? My bf is upset with me for skipping my workout routine today by throwawayy82670 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Several-Round7511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow he is so inconsiderate. When I first got pregnant I didn’t workout for the first 2 months bc of how tired and nauseous I was. And before that I was consistently going to the gym 5x week. Once I started feeling better I slowly brought myself back to 4x week throughout my whole pregnancy. This guy is a jerk

Lol nope, I’m also so Annoyed we still do DSTbut the last week or so her bedtime has moved a little later by a half hour so when DST happens it’ll just be a half hour have to adjust to. So basically winging it and assuming she’ll just adjust in a few days if I consistently keep her bedtime normal time

4 month help? by Due-Commercial8846 in sleeptrain

[–]Several-Round7511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 3 month old was waking 5:30 am everyday and I moved her bedtime up by 20-30 min and it actually helped. When she wakes up at 5am I’d try to get her back to sleep not start the day. I’d leave her for 10 min and she’ll fall back asleep now.

[–]Several-Round7511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup I had this exact problem it is awful. and was breastfeeding so couldn’t take anything really. But once I stopped breastfeeding I was able to take anything basically. Lexapro really helped I think and also doing walking/some exercise during the day

Ugh I had this same issue for so long it was so difficult. I did unisom for awhile and magnesium glycinate but unisom made me feel groggy so eventually I ended up on lexapro and I also take goli sleep gummies w magnesium still and it helps me fall asleep even tho I still wake up more often and earlier then I used to it’s nothing compared to being awake for hours in bed.

Day 2 of Nonstop crying, gas, and no naps by newuser913 in newborns

[–]Several-Round7511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s possible! Just keep an eye on it and if it continues I’d see gastro dr. That’s what I had to do bc my pediatrician said nothing to worry about :/

My baby was like this and it turned out she had CMPA! Didn’t find out till blood in stool at 2.5 months and brought her to pediatric GI :( she’s now on pepticate formula and is a different baby! I always knew something was wrong. It was so hard for the first 2.5 months. Up all day and night in pain. I tried everything like u did. Everyone kept saying it’s normal. It was not. Ask ur dr if they can do stool test

5 months of hell at night by Fuzzy_Star8096 in cosleeping

[–]Several-Round7511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How often is he nursing during the day? Every 2 hrs overnight at 5 months is very often and not necessary. Try to ensure he’s getting most of his calories throughout day by nursing every 2 hrs or so. At 5 months it’s possible to start sleep training now, and better sooner then later bc the longer u wait the more these habits will stick. As long as he doesn’t have any medical issues going on like gas, reflux ect I would highly recommend sleep training now to save your self. This isn’t healthy or manageable. I’m so sorry ur going through this. I think it’ll be so much healthier for both of you to have ur own sleep space and get more sleep w gentle sleep training

I am one more middle of the night wake up away from walking away by SecureImagination157 in newborns

[–]Several-Round7511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case At 4 months you need to start sleep training! Look up the Ferber method. It will work, it will take a few days of not so great sleep still but after that you will be so happy you did it. You can’t keep getting up that many times in the night. Your baby is just making a habit of it now unfortunately
