Barb I think that might be what's happening... that he got the cows milk overload when at around 13 days I drank the Aktavite drink in a short space of time & the following night (about 24-36hrs later) this all began, some days are slightly better & I start to think it's all ending & the next day it's worse again...
I think maybe the overload of dairy may have caused sesetised his gut & as you wrote, it has set up secondary lactose intolerance...?
But if I express 30-50ml off my breast & then let him feed for 30+ mins he is no better? Could this be as I still have the dairy in my system? I stoppe it all as of Sunday afternoon being at the hosp...
The formula bottles? who knows, although his poo's are not a green liquid in every nappy change now but a pastey yellow?
I am seeing the midwives at the hospital tomorrow (having just broken down in tears on the phone to them..) I am seeing the midwife/LC
In a nutshell, I will do anything to have him settled & happy & no longer in pain.. Try to enjoy our family holiday in Bali & if that means formula (is there a dairy protein/lactose free one).
Then continue pumping & when we get back home I will then go back to paed/hosp & relactate.. I can currently express 220-250ml per breast... But I am working myself up more because of this holiday, if we werent going to meet friends from all over the world & having ceremonies done, I'd cancel, but there's been to many plans put in place.. I need to get through the holiday to refocus..?
