My 7yo golden has slept in bed with me since he was a puppy. He is an active dreamer and in general makes a lot of noise at night. It was never an issue for me, but now that I have a newborn in the room he is waking her up 2-3 times a night from noise. I tried moving him to the living room and closing my door but he laid by the door crying for an hour until I gave in. What are my options here? I can’t survive like this forever. My husband has also tried to sleep in another room with him but he paces and is very attached to me specifically.

10 week old has soy and dairy intolerance and it’s getting too hard to avoid so many foods. I’m considering quitting at the 3/3.5 month mark. However, she is extremely attached to the boob and won’t take a paci. Trust me I’ve tried all. She is asking to nurse just about every hour, hour and a half and I’m not sure how this will translate to bottle feeding. She also nurses to sleep for just about every nap. Worried how I will smoothly transition! Any help is appreciated.

Baby is 10 weeks old. At 4 weeks the mucus started along with chronic congestion. She also has pain with gas and pooping and mild reflux. She is gaining a lot of weight. 5 lbs in 2 months. GI said if she’s uncomfortable to switch to Alimentum. She’s EBF and I’ve been dairy free for at least 2 weeks and soy free for 3 days. She still cried while pooping today and it was very mucousy. Thoughts?

Baby is 9 weeks old and I am finally accepting she may have a sensitivity to dairy/soy. It’s not feasible for me to cut dairy, soy and egg from my diet so it seems Alimentum it is. I can’t shake the feeling that I’m damaging her forever. Alimentum stinks and looks gross. I would’ve much preferred to put her on Kendamil or a formula with more whole ingredients.

I guess a part of me is refusing to believe she actually has CMPA and I should push through with a different formula. However, she has had mucus/green stools, congestion, silent reflux, excess gas, and pain with pooping. She is gaining weight just fine and has no rashes. So how do I know this isn’t just normal baby stuff vs a true intolerance?

Any success stories for babies on Alimentum? Any suggestions on other options?

7 week old baby has had mucus in stool on numerous occasions, pain with pooping, silent reflux/congestion. Have been off dairy for over a week and supplementing with Alimentum. About 30% Alimentum, the rest breastmilk.

First day on Alimentum she slept the longest she’s ever slept. Thought this was a good sign but her poop had large clumps of mucus, the worst it’s ever been. Thought it was maybe her gut adjusting but since she is pooping once a day and it is an explosion of mucus each time.

Not sure what to do or if she even has a dairy intolerance. I plan to stop breastfeeding soon so need to commit to a formula soon. I would prefer no Alimentum but I figured a trial would help me figure out if dairy is an issue.
