Breastfeeding Lactose intolerant /cow's milk protein intolerant bubba???

[Hope]

I'm so glad to see this-- I posted a previous thread about Breastmilk Colitis which from reading your posts seems to be the same thing-- A reaction to a protein or food that has irritated the immature gut rather than a lactose intolerance. My son Hamish was also fine until 3 weeks of age and then started passing bloody, mucusy, green stools. It causes him quite a bit of pain (understandably) and is also fairly distressing for us. I have been off dairy, seafood, nuts and strawberrys for two weeks and off soy for about 4 days (didn't realise it had the same protein in it!). I really want to keep bf'ing but it's hard to maintain your resolve when you see your baby in so much pain. CHRISTY did you say it took 4 weeks to see an improvement? I've been at the paed.s twice and he is supportive of me continuing to bf but wants me to try a special formula called Neocate (sp.?) for three days to confirm the diagnosis of colitis-- is this what they said to you TRACEY?? If the condition is confirmed I can continue to bf. Apparently lots of bubs grow out of the condition.
I was beginning to think I just had the world's crankiest baby-- as a first time mum it's hard to know what's normal and what's not. I will keep checking on the progress of your little man Zyon, TRACEY and hopefully SHANNON and CHRISTY will be a wealth of knowledge and experience for us!
