@LazyLightning: Oh gosh, thank you for this!
I don't mean to be happy that you had to go through this too - but it's so reassuring that my baby isn't the only one who hates everything!! lol. She even hates her singing bear today and she LOVED that thing for a little while yesterday! Hmm, wine at 11am, now that's a suggestion I'm going to take on board for tomorrow!

@Cherrybee: I drank entirely too much during maternity leave. A benefit of formula feeding!! Do what you have to do and put her down and walk away if you have to. I did that a LOT. Some folks told me it's a sign of intelligence to have a child who isn't content to just watch the world go by and not try to be a part of it. I dunno about that but I tried to make myself believe it.
You'll get through it!!
Here we are at the store and here we are on a walk a few weeks after that. Fun times were had by none!!
-
@mrs.cookie: Yeah, I'm going to get her to the doctor. I thought that the vast improvement we had when we moved to the partially hydrolysed formula meant that we had fixed the problem and that this new grumpiness was unrelated but the more you have told me today the more I think that it's the same issue, just less intense..... the "baby acne" was on her chest too, you know? Which is apparently normal, too.... but the more I think about it the more concerned I am....
ps - we're now at 2 hrs napping! And I still haven't made my coffee!
-
@Cherrybee: I don't want to make light of this, but your mustard visuals just cracked me up!
-
@LazyLightning: Oh.....
It's breaking my heart just looking at that face. -
@Cherrybee: oh but now there are smiles! And scowls. But a LOT less crying!!
-
@Foodnerd81: *Cackle*!!! Just you wait for the vomit edition! Motherhood is awesome, right?!
-
@Cherrybee: its so glamorous.

@Cherrybee: no, that poop is not 100% normal. It looke like that for us with E when he has mspi. It was mucus (clear, gooey) mixed in with his poop. Also, he has red (albeit small) rashes on the bum and cheeks of his face. The "low" lactose won't cut it. Honestly, our son COMPLETELY & entirely changed when we switched him to totally hypoallergenic formula. He was a terror & turned into a saint.
I can relate on the miserable child issue, but really, it all change fr us with hypoallergenic formula and some days. -
I"m pretty sure my daughter has some food intolerance (working on figuring it out), and the yellow mustard (not the grainy) you described is similar to hers- although it is full of stretchy, mucus bits. We use cloth, so I think its easier to tell- but if I put the diaper together and then pull it apart the poop will stretch.
I know everyone has offered lots of advice, but for awhile the only way I got my daughter to take a nap longer than 20 minutes was to put her in the front pack and bounce on a yoga ball. she would sleep for like 2 hours if I did that. when it was hot I just pointed a fan at myself.
Also- I think at about 3 months I started putting her to sleep every two hours, no matter what- and it really helped with our nap issue.Hang in there- you are doing great! I would talk to the doctor sooner rather than later, though. They might be able to help.
-
@LazyLightning: YES to everyone in public making suggestions, I HATED that! My favorite was "why is that baby crying like that?" Hey jerk, if I knew do you think I'd be walking her around the block in my pajamas for the last 2 hours?
-
@Cherrybee: yep I think you're right, she's feeling a lot better than she was, but something is still bothering her little system. P gets the hive like spots down her chest (and back) from intolerance reactions too...
Good luck at the dr! I think GP can prescribe totally hydrolysed formulas in the uk (recently changed to just peds here). Let us know how you go, I'll be thinking of you!
-
@Cherrybee: we had a similar baby. We found out she was mspi and we learned the benefits of baby wearing while walking outside or bouncing on the yoga ball. Once we figured all that out, things got a lot easier.
-
@Cherrybee: how is miss E travelling the past few days?
-
We have seen a 180 degree change since switching our son to Nutramigin and giving up dairy for the breast milk he gets. He is still fussy often but it's not the same horrible shrieking and it's much easier to soothe him now. Granted, it's only been a few days so it might just be a fluke.
If shushing helps (it really helps with DS) I downloaded an app called Baby Shusher on my iPhone that plays a consistent loud shushing sound so I don't go hoarse from shushing. I highly recommend it!
Hope that its something simple like switching formulas again. Hugs!

@mrs.cookie: @JamieLee: You know what, she's been great the last couple of days! She has napped well and been much more cheerful when she's awake. She has also STTN for teo nights! Maybe she was just having an off few days? I dunno. Im starting to believe that i actually have no control over any of it and there is no reason or rhyme at all!!
@JamieLee: Im SO glad your LO is feeling better. Such good news.
-
@Cherrybee: yay! It is all so random. Honestly sometimes I wish I could spin a wheel: Developmental Milestone? Teeth? Colic? Illness? Who freaking knows!
But I'm glad to hear she's giving you a break -
@Cherrybee: yay!!!! C has also been having a good couple of days/ though not sleeping through the night. Fingers crossed they keep it up!
I don't mean to be happy that you had to go through this too - but it's so reassuring that my baby isn't the only one who hates everything!! lol. She even hates her singing bear today and she LOVED that thing for a little while yesterday! Hmm, wine at 11am, now that's a suggestion I'm going to take on board for tomorrow!
