Any moms out there have babies with cows milk allergies? Please let me know your experiences/thoughts, because I need some serious help with my baby.

My little one has been having a real hard time with constipation, gas, what seems to be cramping, lots of big spit ups and generally crying for many many hours a day.

Originally, I thought, just deal with it, that’s how babies are, they cry. I asked my doc, she didn’t think it was my diet or that I needed to stop dairy, so I didn’t.

This week, after several long long days of a horribly sad and pained baby, I just thought I’d try not breastfeeding but just doing non-dairy formula for a week to reset.

Well, he has been SOOOO much better. It’s obvious that he’s not in pain, he’s more relaxed and happy and he isn’t crying for hours every day, and no spit ups/vomiting. It makes me want to cry tbh.

So my questions are:

Should I even go back to breastfeeding? (I have a complex now that my milk is making my baby sick)

Should I start breastfeeding again with the non-dairy formula as a supplement?

How long should I wait to start nursing again, how long did you all wait?

I was using Neocate as the formula. It is awesome. Are there any other brands that might be effective but are a bit cheaper, like Nutramigen?

Anyway, thanks for any help. Please don’t be negative or judgy, I just need some more info.

Thank you ladies.
