Hello again- two posts in one day. I wanted comment on the colic and milk
allergies
Colic does seem to be common and I often find the cause to be a food mother
is eating, but I find the cause is more often not picking the
baby up enough and/or not feeding enough. I always ask the mother
what happens if she picks up the baby or breastfeeds. If she replies he
stops crying, I suggest that is what she should do. If she replies he
continues to scream I ask if the baby has received anything other than
breastmilk- the second most common reason in my experience. I never
assume food intolerance's and I always take a medical history, food recall,
and medication information including vitamins and herbs before suggesting a
food intolerance of any kind.
