Milk Protein Allergy

Chelsea

My little guy is 7 weeks old tomorrow. About 2 weeks ago he started having diarrhea along with colicky symptoms and excessive spit up. His pediatrician tested his stool and there were traces of blood so she diagnosed him with a cow milk protein allergy. I’ve since cut out dairy from my diet and he’s no longer colicky but no improvement on the diarrhea. The diet is also proving to be difficult but I’d do anything for my baby. Considering also cutting out soy in case that’s the cause of the continued diarrhea.

Anyone else going through this? Has your little one improved? I guess I’m still wondering if it’s actually an allergy or something else. I’m reading that this allergy is supposed to be really rare in breastfed babies but I understand not impossible. Hoping he’s one to grow out of it sooner rather than later!
