Some of them have milk, so be careful. I know you said you were considering try a dairy free diet again, so you may want to read labels carefully.

Hello Momof4 –

I have only been on this board a couple of times, but I have been following your story. It is very similar to mine as well. I bf my son for 13 months and now have a 2 month old who is bf exclusively. BOTH have had the exact same problems — reflux, pulling off breast, arching back and screaming during and after feedings, general fussiness all day, fussy pooper. Both were really good night time sleepers, but rarely naps during the day.

I also have OALD. It’s very frustrating to know that while we are trying to provide the best nutrition for our children, it seems to be causing them some pain. I have wrestled with moving to formula as well, but I don’t want to lose my milk supply.

Have you tried formula for Caden at all?

Hi Tatesmom,

I feel your frustration! I’m on my third baby – all bf exclusively, all colicky, all refluxy, poor sleepers, fussy poopers, etc.

You are so right – we are providing the best nutrition but at a price. Due to OALD, we have healthy but FUSSY breastfed babies

All 3 of my boys have been healthy, chubby, active, smart babies, but with colic and reflux

I have decided for now to just work on lowering my supply (so far so good). I still feel like my letdown is fast even with lowered supply, but it has only been 2 or 3 days. I’ll see where I am in a week.

For now I’m not doing formula. I’m not ruling it out – just trying to bf as long as possible…until I either can’t take it anymore or hopefully it improves!

Thanks for the support
