That was me. Out of my 6 children, my 5th was so colicky. Exclusively BF till
2 years. Started solids at about 10 months. I do this with all my children
and none were vaccinated till after 3. I am one of those
homebirth/breastfeeding.no vaccinating freaks ;)
So when he was colicky after a peaceful homebirth I was perplexed. Never
havnig a child with an allergy before I did not pick up on it and did not change
my diet till after he was 6 months :(
We get him tested on Monday., It will be interesting to see what the test
shows. He was consuming cows milk through MY diet for months (I never drink milk
but have cheese, etc).
I love Dr. Sears, and I truly htink that is what got me through all my babies
infancies.
