I kept asking the pediatrician if it was possible for her to be lactose intolerant, they said it was very rare and surely she wasn’t. I cut out all spicy foods: garlic, milk, onions, EVERYTHING except bland food. She still cried and fussed starting around 20 minutes after she’d start breastfeeding. This went on for several weeks. At one desperate point when she was a few weeks old, I sent Mr Hyphen to the store to get several types of formula. She LOVED LOVED LOVED lactose free formula, no fussing whatsoever. I wasn’t ready to give up breastfeeding, but after trial and error found that if I pumped the milk, refrigerated it, then reheated it in a bottle, she could drink it (but NOT if the milk had been reheated more than once… to her it was “old” and yucky). SO for several weeks we did that: I’d pump and give her the milk via a bottle.

At 6 weeks, she weaned herself and refused all breast milk, only consuming lactose free formula until she was a year old.

I have read a mommy blogger who had a similar experience and did what some call the Thanksgiving Diet– what you’d typically eat on TG so that her milk was digestible to her baby.

Especially when you’re full of “what-ifs” and “why is this”. I hope that you and Everly get everything figured out. When does she have her first pediatrician appointment? My ped was a great resource for breastfeeding info.

You probably don’t have that much time for research now, so I’m posting a link and a research paper on colic and probiotics. 🙂 Hope you’ll find it useful. 🙂

Here are BioGaia drops that have researched L.reuteri probiotic:

And research paper: (abstract)

Savino, F., et al. (2007) Lactobacillus reuteri (American Type Culture Collection Strain 55730) Versus Simethicone in the Treatment of Infantile Colic: A Prospective Randomized Study. Pediatrics, 119, e124-30.

OBJECTIVE. The goal was to test the hypothesis that oral administration of Lactobacillus reuteri in a prospective randomized study would improve symptoms of infantile colic.

METHODS. Ninety breastfed colicky infants were assigned randomly to receive either the probiotic L reuteri (108 live bacteria per day) or simethicone (60 mg/day) each day for 28 days. The mothers avoided cow’s milk in their diet. Parents monitored daily crying times and adverse effects by using a questionnaire.

RESULTS. Eighty-three infants completed the trial: 41 in the probiotic group and 42 in the simethicone group. The infants were similar regarding gestational age, birth weight, gender, and crying time at baseline. Daily median crying times in the probiotic and simethicone groups were 159 minutes/day and 177 minutes/day, respectively, on the seventh day and 51 minutes/day and 145 minutes/day on the 28th day. On day 28, 39 patients (95%) were responders in the probiotic group and 3 patients (7%) were responders in the simethicone group. No adverse effects were reported.

CONCLUSIONS. In our cohort, L reuteri improved colicky symptoms in breastfed infants within 1 week of treatment, compared with simethicone, which suggests that probiotics may have a role in the treatment of infantile colic.
