My 7 week old seems so uncomfortable all the time. She is either sleeping or writhing in discomfort. We have some nursing issues due to my forceful letdown, so sometimes she has trouble with gas or overfeeding but I feel like this is more than that. Her poops are now explosions 2-3 times a day instead of after every feeding like the new newborn days. So how did you realize your baby is sensitive to something you're eating.

I had suspicions that I asked my doctor from about a month onward, but the doctor brushed it off. At 3 months, she started having visible blood in her stool. The doctor confirmed the blood--then I started an elimination diet and went back for more stool tests and they were clear. But just to "make sure" the doctor recommended that we give Similac Alimentum for 3 days 100% to see if she "really" had an intolerance to dairy and she had the worst bloody diapers ever =(
So then we went back to the MSPI diet breast milk and are still doing it till now at 9.5 months.
ETA: my LO never had the typical symptoms of crying a lot or looking like she was uncomfortable. But her poops were always a very bright green color (my mom who had 6 kids kept saying she'd never seen anything like it) and then she stopped eating altogether. She just...wouldn't eat. No crying or fussing but refusing the bottle (she'd already refused the breast).
