My ds is 8 weeks old now and I'm more confused than ever.
I have already seen an lc, my pediatrician and a lll leader/group. No one seems to be able to help me pinpoint the problem if there is one.
I am mostly concerned about the screaming and coughing. I also would love to know if the green and mucosy poops are a concern or just within normal.
Baby
1- Sometimes fussy in evening and sometimes SCREAMING as if in pain in the evening (otherwise generally happy)
2- Coughing at breast at different times and away from breast seemingly when spitting up and swallowing back down (spits up without swallowing rarely)
3- Green poops occasionally, mucosy poops occasionally (no visible blood) Very gassy sometimes uncomfortable with it, but i:'m thinking it's within normal infant range.
4- Sometimes fussy at breast, choking, gagging and bobbing.
5- Mild (?) lip tie, I question posterior tongue tie
6- Horrible skin. Dry spots, cradle cap, baby acne on face and trunk, prickly heat rash looking area on chin but no diaper rash.
7- Thrush- I think it is gone now. Treated with gv for 4 days and now baby probiotics
Mommy
1- OS/OALD I have his 3yo sister nurse to relieve sometimes and I take him off for first let down sometimes.
2- I eat pretty healthy, whole foods mostly, but I love sugar. I avoid soy for the most part, but couldn't say it is fully absent from my diet.
3- I had mastitis when he was @2 weeks old. Treated with abx
4- I had thrush following abx I think. Itchy nipples but no pain. Treated with gv and apno.
Things we've tried
1- Dairy free diet for 10 days then a trial
2- Dairy free diet for 2.5 weeks then accidental hidden dairy trial (1 piece of cake)
3-Block feeding. This regulated my supply so I went back to switch feeding and my supply skyrocketed. This return of OS seems to have coincided with a return of the green mucosy poops.
So, dairy allergy, lip/tongue tie, is/oald, silent reflux or just normal?
Sorry this is so long. Help please![]()
