issue with breast feeding....

kansasmomma

So about a week ago about my daughters stomach being super upset. Well I started giving her 2 oz of gentlease enfamil formula once a day and it helped a lot its been about a week so I started taking her off the formula and changed my diet to really bland foods. Well her tummy went right back to being upset and she just kept crying last night. We didn't sleep at all because she was misserable. So I gave her more formula this morning to help her tummy. Her tummy is better and she is pooping tons today! But now she only wants formula and no breast milk. She freaks out when we give her breast milk. Have any of u heard of this? Oh and she only wants 2oz of formula when she was eating 3oz of breast milk. Im worried about her not eating enough now. Help me pls im so worried about my baby girl

She could be allergic. I'd talk to a Dr about it though. I'm no expert. Good luck.

My sister baby did not react well to breast milk. Turns out she's allergic to dairy and she was put on special formula.

I've read several places that's its not possible for your baby to be allergic to your breast milk. It has to be something in your diet...maybe dairy, especially if the soy formula is making it better. Maybe you could skip the dairy and drink soy milk to see if that's what it is.

I stopped eating dairy and my son is fine now.

I'd look at less dairy, but it could be she just doesnt react well to your breast milk. Have you tried mixing the two? Then she gets some of the benefits of your milk with what she gets from the formula. Just an idea. Maybe she has reflux?
My husband's cousin had a similar issue, but get baby also had a few problems breathing. Come to find out she had immature cartilage in her throat. Just a few ideas to check out
