Just remember to wait at least 3 weeks before evaluating whether or not dairy-free has been effective, as it takes that long for the cow's proteins to leave your system. Also be sure to read the ingredients on EVERYthing, as there is hidden dairy everywhere! Even quaker chewy granola bars have dairy in them. A friend of mine "went dairy free" right when her baby was born to avoid any gas problems, but two months later realized that her semi-daily starbucks lattee had milk in it. I know, right? Anyway, it's easy to miss. :)DeterminedDoryhttp://determineddory.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7760692184046523851.post-48391664622124398012012-02-14T07:45:54.138-08:002012-02-14T07:45:54.138-08:00Huge hugs...it's not easy dealing with all the...Huge hugs...it's not easy dealing with all the complexities of newborn babies.

We dealt with the. Exact. Same. Thing. For us the gas drops and axid were what worked. Bug wad like a whole new baby, although still high needs. At almost 19 months she is unfortunately still on the axid. Sorry for typos I can't go back on my phone. Either way, within a week of the axid she was so much better. There is hope. I swore we wouldn't have another for months after she was born, but here we are, trying again! <br />Let us know how it all works! <br />Ps gripe water also helped us SO much!Emmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08761362136697332510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7760692184046523851.post-86161886810337100702012-02-12T02:16:01.714-08:002012-02-12T02:16:01.714-08:00Every time you write about Q it reminds me of Tato...Every time you write about Q it reminds me of Tatoe at that age. It's like watching a movie that I already know the ending to! :) I joke, but I know that these days are pretty hellish for you no matter how blissed out you are that he's finally here.<br /><br />Tatoe had reflux too, and he rarely pooped. (I learned a lot about infant reflux and how to make our lives easier on the Babycenter boards for it. Come join us! I found that the best board was Surviving Reflux: Dealing with the other colic---reflux, MSPI and other GI issues.) Anyway, Tatoe was on Zantac, thickened feeds, and gas drops for six months with no improvement, and the "better" reflux drugs, the PPIs, made him break out in terrible rashes. After we started baby yogurt though, he changed in just a couple of weeks. His delayed gastric emptying seemed to speed up and he started pooping every day. He stopped vomiting and started just spitting up, and he doesn't randomly cry out in pain any more. I know that at seven months old he's in the age group where some babies start to outgrow their reflux, but I really think it was the probiotics in the yogurt that did the trick. I hope they work for Q too so you can have more blissful moments with him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7760692184046523851.post-78728229791542341792012-02-11T17:46:11.146-08:002012-02-11T17:46:11.146-08:00Gosh, I need some of whatever you've got in th...Gosh, I need some of whatever you've got in that breastmilk, lol!

Good luck with your new "diet." I'll have to remember the heating pad on the changing table thing - you might be on to something there. :) And enjoy those two mornings a week while nanny is there.
