BF moms a question..

So.. DD has been very gassy and spitting up a lot... I cut out dairy, and have been trying to eat foods that seem to not irritate her tummy...

The day it was really bad, I gave her formula (milk based) and her tummy was fine...

what could be the problem? I pump and feed... are my days of pumping coming to an end? It just seems that she isnt able to handle my milk anymore!!!

Re: BF moms a question..

Babies can be gassy and spit up a lot regardless of whether they're BFed or FFed. I don't think it means your DD can't handle your BM. As far as dairy, I think it can take at least 2 weeks to leave your system. Is your DD very uncomfortable and fussy? Personally, I'd talek to the pediatrician or a lactation consultant before I gave up BFing.

Both my DC were really gassy for the first couple of months - farting ALL the time.
DS has been a spitter-upper since practically day 1. As long as she is a happy spitter (it just comes out, no crying or screaming), she is fine. Why did you cut out dairy?
