I recently stopped breastfeeding my little girl and has not kept any of it down, in the last week! The first three days she spit up every once in a while which is obviously normal for a baby...but lately she spits up every time she stops drinking, literally! I called the pediatrician and he had me switch formulas two days ago but it didnt change...does this sound like a dairy allergy??? I think it does but the doctor said that was being way to concerned...i'm thinking of changing pedi's but im not sure if i should or not?

My son violently throws up after drinking dairy, and gets hives all over his face. That's a pretty obvious allergic reaction. Spitting up is not quite an allergic reaction. You should try a soy alternative if you're concerned. It is harmless to a baby with sensitivities to milk.

My granddaughter had this prob even with mother's milk. It was suggested that we keep her upright for 30 minutes after she has consumed her milk. Sometimes it worked and sometimes not. Later we found she was allergic to dairy and had to go on another product.
You are the child's mother and your instincts are probably right. I would call the pediatrician back with your concerns. Sometimes we mothers have to be firm with the docs or they just think we are young, worried mothers who don't know anything. Well, that's not okay. If you are not satisfied with this doc then by all means go to another. Follow your instincts with your baby, they are usually right.

It sounds like infant GERD, or acid reflux... I would talk to your doctor about GERD, and if he or she does not acknowledge the possibility, I would get a second opinion.
My little guy has GERD, and it was originally misdiagnosed as colic. There are a bevy of symptoms, including: spitting up, fussiness/crying, congestion, etc. It's worth checking into, even if just to eliminate the possibility.

You may want to try Soy. Did she seem to spit up a lot when you ate Dairy and breastfed? If returning to breastfeeding is an option, you should consider it.

in the experience that your standard practitioner is in touch he could desire to perform a little assessments. My daughter enhance into very colicky so I even have sympathy for you. extremely, no person knows what "colic" is strictly. Now she is two-a million/2 and she or he's very mushy and emotional. it is in basic terms the way she is. She constantly appeared somewhat depressing as a youthful little one yet is a very pleased little one. We had problems for a protracted time along with her loss of activity in ingesting or eating something yet breast milk yet she has come a protracted way. Your son could desire to in basic terms be hypersensitive to his environment and he will probable outgrow that. yet communicate issues including your standard practitioner and ask him if there are any assessments he can run to assist narrow issues down somewhat. in step with probability something may be completed and additionally you all do exactly no longer comprehend what it is yet. I choose you the better of success, and carry in there.

Karenj is correct. and any doc or person for that matter that simply says its colic is silly. colic isnt anything other than a word to say your baby is crying. it isnt really a diagnosis. its nothing. My baby has acid reflux and her doc prescribed her prilosec. it has helped so much
