Hi
Just got of the phone with a mom of fully breastfed 7 month old baby-beautiful weight gain,everything fine till 5 days ago when baby started vomiting copious amounts after every single feed.Ped said baby seemed fine,no sign of infection,blood work OK told very upset mom to feed the baby formula-he thinks this is an allergic reaction.Mom has been feeding formula to baby-vomiting stopped.She tried to breastfeed a few times-and baby barfs it all up....This mom is understandably extremely upset.
There is strong history of allergies-this baby's two siblings were very allergic to all common allergens till about age 2.
I advised this mom to keep on pumping and going on a hypoallergenic diet and trying to breastfeed again after a few days.I told her it may take two weeks to see results -if this indeed is the problem.I would love to hear your input please!
