Guest guest Posted April 17, 2000 Report Share Posted April 17, 2000 hey everyone, i'm having a little problem, and i don't know what to do. derek goes to sleep in his crib each nite at 8pm and sleeps for about 5 hours. i had been getting out of bed and nursing him in our rocker, and putting him back in his crib until he woke again. at that point i would bring him into bed with us for the rest of the nite (usually 3am to 6am). his wakings started getting more frequent, and figuring growth spurt and wanting to make it easier on myself, and i moved him into bed with us after the first waking. my problem is this. derek has always been a very gassy/spitty uppy baby. he also has a problem getting his burps up, even though he is 16 weeks old now. when he nurses at nite laying down, the gas must build up in his tummy and he wakes up SCREAMING. he is also nursing alot more frequently, because everytime he starts to wake, i put the other breast in his mouth in order to get him back to sleep. (also can't hurt my supply :-) .) the screaming is very loud, and i'm nervous he is going to wake jake. anyone been through this, and have any advice? i really don't want to sit up to feed him 3 and 4 times a nite, mommy needs sleep! stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helped tremendously!!! You have to read *all* the ingredients in everything you eat!! As a milk substitute in cooking and for drinking, try Rice Dream. For a butter substitute, Fleischman's makes a Dairy Free unsalted margarine in sticks. Read every ingredient! Don't use anything containing the words " butter " , " milk " , " cream " , " cheese " , or " whey " . My son is soooo sensitive, if I eat a chicken nugget (which has a breading made w/ milk), he'll break out in a rash...from ONE nugget! But it sounds as if your little one has a milk allergy! It's at least worth a try! Eliminate those items from your diet for two weeks and see if you notice a difference. -- homeschooling mom to (9), (6), and (6 months) " If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2000 Report Share Posted April 17, 2000 Hi all, I am back from the LLL conference. Just wanted to mention that you need to avoid casien (sp?) as well. It is milk protein which is the allergic part.

It could be an allergy. It could be a contact allergy, such as something she's touching, as in laundry detergent, if it's just the facial rash, or it could be something in your diet. Milk is the most common allergen, but others are sensitive to chocolate, nuts, wheat, eggs, berries, etc. You could try an elimination diet and see what happens. ---- homeschooling mom to (9), (6), and (6 months) " If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?

Also, anything labeled sodium caseinate, which makes up alot of casings, such as you'd find in hot dogs and sausages. A rule of thumb that my LLL gave was that if it melts, it has casein in it! ----- homeschooling mom to (9), (6), and (6 months) " If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?
