Hey mamas! Has anyone had any experience with breastfeeding a baby with a dairy/soy intolerance? My pediatrician thinks my 5-week old babe has colic AND a dairy/soy intolerance (they found trace blood in his poo). I suspected the dairy problems a couple weeks ago so eliminated most (but not all) dairy at that time. Now I’ve eliminated ALL dairy and soy as of 3 days ago and will continue this for 2 weeks at my pediatrician’s advice, to see if it helps. Poor little guy is still really fussy and gassy. Some nights he screams and cries inconsolably from 6pm to 2am :(

Not only do I feel absolutely helpless not being able to calm him but I’m also starting to wonder if I should take a break from breastfeeding to see if he does better on formula? It would break my heart to do it but this mama is grasping for straws at this point.

Any advice/ideas? We also started him on a probiotic (Gerber’s soothe colic probiotic drops) a couple days ago...
