Some babies that are CMPA are also allergic to soya proteins as they are very similar. I cut out both then tested his reaction to both separately. The only milk I can have is rice milk as he's allergic to soya, oats and coconut!!
Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

Emma, I hope Lewis isn't allergic! Is he any better today?
Laura, Alex looks so cute in his superman outfit! James has a habit of throwing on fist up when he wakes so was tempted to get him a superman tee or vest!
Sorry I've not really been on today. My mum picked up James at 10 so we could go to the solicitors, then the bank, then get some packing done! Xx

Lewis has been a bit better today. Still quite sicky bit definitely not in pain as much. Im hoping it keeps improving as I avoid dairy. I didn't know bread had dairy in it. I went to the shop today. It was impossible to find anything I would usually eat without dairy in it!

Well I don't know if it's coincidence, but I have massively cut down my dairy intake in the last few day. Cutting out the main culprits like milk, cheese and butter. Already his trapped wind has almost gone and he hasn't spewed at all today. Still spitting up tiny bits but its nowhere near his usual change of clothes job lol.
Hes completely choked with the cold and that distrubed his sleep but even with that he managed 8-7.30 with one feed at 1am and 45 mins awake at 5 cos his nose was so blocked. I got him down again til 7.30 without a feed.
Long may it continue!
How you all enjoying the sun? ?

Jeezo its roasting hot! Am so not used to the heat 
That does seem to suggest that wee Lewis has some sort of intolerance.
I was at the chemist today for Kaiden who has a wart on his thumb & Dylan must have some milk trapped in a fold in his neck and its all red & sore looking. I LOVE the minor ailments service as the chemist here is very expensive!

Hey 
Sorry I haven't been on much. We were out all day on the 9th for my 1st anniversary then have been busy with the boys since! Shaun is away to his Dad's and Alex is in bed so I have 5 mins to myself lol.
Yeah we went to his appt. The Paed wrote down my list of Alex's confirmed and suspected allergies and has referred us to a dietician. God knows how long that will take. There's not much they can do really other than advise me on weaning, give me advice on what I should be eating and also find out if there is a formula Alex can have so I don't need to give him breast milk until he's 5 lol!
How are you all getting on? The baby monitor says it's 25 degrees in Alex's room but he won't sleep unless he has a sheet over him. He's only wearing a vest. Do you think that's ok? I think he's like me, I can't sleep without anything over me lol. Even when it's roasting I need a sheet!

Funny, I'm the same. I have to have a sheet on me. I'm sure he will be fine. It's 25 degrees in our room too. Lewis is just in a nappy. I put a light cover over him but he kicks it off.
So did you find the appt useful then? I reckon now you know it's cos of allergies, the dietician appt will be more useful.
Lewis and I have a doc appt tomorrow for him but everything has been so much better so I don't really know what I'm going for lol. I just know, if I don't go, it will all come back lol. His cold is starting to go too, thank god. I was meant to have his jags today but I rescheduled for next week. Didn't think it would be good to get his jags while he has such a bad cold. They were still happy to do it though. So we have that next week. Just when he will no doubt be feeling better!

Yeah Sainsburys have a great range but I can't have anything lol, they always have either corn, egg, soya or milk in them! I buy my Chocolate Rice Dream milk in there though
Do you think he's CMPA then? Funny how both our babies are! Do you or Ryan have any family history? Your Dad?

I think he is. I haven't cut out dairy completely yet cos I was hoping if I just cut out the main culprits that might be enough. So far he is way better. Doesn't seem in pain now and all the screaming and back arching has gone. He is still sick but its not massive amounts and its not after every feed. He rarely cries when he is sick now too. I really don't think it is a coincidence.
Ryan's older brother (half brother) has stomach issues, but it probably comes from my side as my dad finds that dairy gives him serious reflux. He stopped eating it for years and was fine and now he eats it again. He can only do that cos he's on Omeprazole (sp?) and that stops the pain. My brother and I tend to get bad heartburn and reflux when we eat certain foods too. I was on omeprazole for a while just before I got pregnant. I think that's also why my heartburn was agony in pregnancy. So there's a big chance Lewis has the same issues.
I hope he outgrows it!! Not sure what to say to the doc tomorrow since things are so much better. Maybe I'll ask if we can see a dietician too lol x

Its funny you mention weaning Laura as I was just thinking it will be that time soon. 
Well I finally heard from my boss today and I am not too happy. I had initially said that i would take 6 months off so would be back near end september. I emailed asking if i could stay off until 18ish dec or there abouts when my smp ends and go back around 20 hrs per week until end of march then back to 31 hours I was doing.
Boss is saying can i come back end nov and do 5 hours per day and since he has approved new tax managers holidays for oct when i should have been back can i use (some) of the 10 keeping in touch days and cover for her. I know they are incredibly busy dec/jan time with tax returns but I will NEVER get this chance again to spend time with my babies....so fecked off. I guess it is only a few weeks earlier that i was planning, but they are MY weeks. Going to speak to CAB or ACAS and see what they say. He wants me to go in and discuss it and i have to apply for the flexible working.
My next issue: my work pal is getting married early sept on a sunday. Me and the girls I am friends with at work have been invited to the reception. Partners not invited which is fine as dave can watch boys. I just dont know what to do about BF? I will be just over an hour away if there is any probs. I could ask my mum to have dylan but i would still be 40 mins away. I would leave as much EBM as possible, prob too much, but what about the feeds he misses?

How long are you planning on being away for?
Sucks about your boss being a tosser. It's your Maternity Leave and you're entitled to take what you want. You can take up to a year and he can't say anything about it. You tell him when you're coming back, not the other way around!

I had Ryan's mum over yesterday... Rant alert!!
I told her I was avoiding dairy - specifically cows milk protein, and told her why. She the. Tried to tell me I was wrong and that the problem is the lactose. I disagreed and explained about cmpa. Eventually she shut up.
Then, she said (to Lewis), 'I think your mummy is overreacting about this reflux. You don't have reflux at all do you?' I was like WTF!! She sees him once every 2 weeks, and mostly on a 'good day'. I cancel if its a 'bad day' I was actually raging!!
Then she turns round and says, ' yeah, you need to be watching your diet. You shouldn't be having... Or... And I'm going to keep going on at you because you should be giving Lewis water in this hot weather.' I was just like erm... No!! He will get enough fluid from me as long as I feed him on demand which I do.
God she's a right bossy cow. I think I would know if Lewis has reflux. And I can eat and drink whatever the hell I like! It took all my willpower to keep my mouth shut, be polite and not tell her to F off and not come back!!

Why did you keep your mouth shut? She didn't keep hers shut and obviously doesn't care about your feelings. I think it's time to start standing up to her properly otherwise she'll never know where the line is. I'm furious on your behalf. Thankfully Stephen's Mum wouldn't dare say anything like that to me. She stayed here last weekend so I could get some decorating done and the whole time she just kept saying 'Oh he's such hard work...he's just like his Daddy was at that age...it's exhausting'.
