What's the baby's growth like? Anytime a baby has abdominal or 
gastrointestinal tract surgery, they may have pain during or after 
feeding and be difficult to feed. Short, frequent feedings may help the 
baby feel better and take more milk in overall.

I'd also recommend a really good look at the rest of the baby. Babes 
with one thing wrong may have other issues too, and the other issues may 
be affecting feeding. And if mom's elimination diet isn't helping the 
baby, she might as well eat normally.

I can't help with a ped gi, still shopping for one after my fav moved 
out of the country! Let me know if you find a good one.

> 1 mo baby has severe discomfort and grunting with a lot of gas, hard time passing BM. Mom is EBF, no dairy or soy or other distressing foods. Per Mom she was kept in the NICU for 14(!!) days for "low sugar"(40's and 50's), had some sort of abdominal surgery for adhesions, and was readmitted once for projectile vomiting. Mother does not understand fully although she did say that she tried to get explanations but the Ped surgeon was unclear. They refused to involve Pediatric GI.
> She came to me last week because the baby is so miserable and we corrected latch, I recommended laid back bf, pumping before feedings. She is very on top of it and has been following instructions but it's still pretty bad. I recommended she get her records and go see a specialist for another opinion. Any recommendations that I can give her? Any other ideas for me?
