Anyone else have any thoughts or know what could be causing such discomfort
in baby?
My client has just given birth to her third baby. All 3 of her babies have
had a tongue tie. The first two were not clipped. The third is on her way
for a frenotomy.  Her last two babies have classic symptoms of colic, acid
reflux and over supply syndrome yet I have ruled out over supply syndrome
because there is not abundant amount of milk or do the babies gulp at the
breast and mom just doesn't present any physical characteristics. The babies
were miserable. Her babies were not big and there was never any discrepancy
with their weight. They cried night and day until she switched exclusively
to soy formula at 6 months when they became perfect. She had gone on a
strict elimination diet...milk, wheat, nuts etc. for months without any
changes to babies behavior. She mentioned that she was down to eating just
turkey and rice without any changes.  Every test was done to figure out what
is going on. She saw alot of specialists who just told her that her babies
were allergic to breastmilk. They could not find out the issue. The poops
were green, mucusy and with blood. Mom said that she eventually went to 80%
soy formula and 20% BM where the symptoms improved but not eliminated.  It
wasn't until she completely weaned her babies and gave them strictly soy
formula before all symptoms disappeared. Currently, this third baby is
exclusively breastfed at 2 weeks old and has started with the green poops.
No symptoms of colic as of yet. She is gaining normal weight. Mom also
mentions that when she pumped previously and currently, that the layer of
fat at the top (once milk has been sitting for awhile) is paper thin..which
may mean something or nothing but thought I would add as much info as I
can.  I am stumped here. Any thoughts? I feel there is an answer and we both
need your help.  Thank you all.
