Has she eliminated ALL dairy products? Does she injest any foods with
artificial sweeteners in them?(common cause of intestinal cramping in
infants) Does she take a vitamin with iron? Does baby?
I was working with a mom whose baby sounded similar. She assured me that
she had eliminated all dairy products. I had her keep a diet diary and she
had butter several times each day. When I asked about it she said her other
children who were also dairy sensitive weren't bothered by butter so she
hadn't eliminated it. She did and baby stopped cramping.
It sounds a lot like a reaction to something in mom's diet. A diet history
for several days would be helpful, making sure to include *everything* she
injests--liquids, supplements, etc.
