Don’t know where to start. My 2.5 mo diagnosed with CMPI.
My LO was diagnosed with reflux on week 6. By that time I was supplementing with formula and triple feeding. Poor thing would cry inconsolably during every feed and would take an hour to finish 3 oz bottle. We changed formula from HiPP to Bobbie and settled on Kendamil organic. Still not enough improvement and his crying episodes would not stop. I did everything from pace feeding to 30 min upright position after feeds. I even left the hopes of EBF to manage his pain and started pumping.
After his reflux diagnosis, he has been put on fomatidine and stopped throwing up but still has pain during feeds. I stopped formula( Kendamil organic) and pumping like crazy to see if that helped. He started having runny stool with mucus. He even had 3 dirty diaper a day which is unusual for him. Today I went for 2 month wellness check and the ped says he has CMPA after seeing mucus in his stool.
He handed the sample of nutramigen and asked me to cut diary and BF after 2 weeks. I am torn at this point. I always wanted to give best for my baby like all of you. This hypoallergenic formula came in as a punch as I have no knowledge about it. I have nightmares about metal contamination and other long term effects.
Would love to get recommendations on what HA formula is best and what worked. I need to get him something immediately until I am free of diary protein.
