My second baby was diagnosed with probable Non-IgE CMPA in June 2020 at 6 weeks old, which was confirmed following a "challenge" 6 weeks later. She's also allergic to soya.
As a part of her CMPA, she suffered from severe reflux (GORD). This was managed successfully with Omeprazole, seeing almost instant improvement in symptoms and continued improvement as the weeks went on, and as cow's milk protein was removed from her diet.
I exclusively pumped breast milk for my daughter, while trying to introduce a prescription formula. She reacted to the first prescription formula, an extensively hydrolysed formula called Nutramigen, but settled with an amino acid formula called Neocate.
This video is a brief explanation of what happened. Obviously I've left out huge chunks of our story because I didn't want to make a video a month long.
We also saw a chiropractor and an osteopath who specialise in treatment of babies. She had a posterior tongue tie snipped, and we had a lot of support from our doula and an IBCLC.
Please feel free to ask questions below and I'll do my best to answer them or direct you to appropriate sources of information.
