[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could be gas, could be overtired, could be reflux..  any chance you have a fast let down? When I have over supply my baby has those symptoms ( 10 weeks old but your description could describe our night tonight)[/quote]

OP’s wife here — yes, I’m pretty sure I have a very strong let down (milk literally pours from them by just bending over) — any recs?[/quote]

I have to get a little out with a haaka first or switch position- for newborn I'd do football hold. Poor baby screams when I have fast let down- I tried side lying and that still sprayed all over her face intensely but the laid back position helped.

My first kid had horrible screaming/colic /reflux and they told me to avoid dairy/soy and give famotodine- truth is it was still awful for months and I held her upright as the only way she slept. I always wonder if the restricted diet was really needed given it didn't solve the issue- don't do that without a stool test, babies are hard enough without it[/quote]

Definitely recommend the stool card. But also I don’t think it’s a big deal to do the diet for a week and see if it works. Allergy is the most likely cause and I’d much rather be hungry than hear screaming, personally! If it doesn’t work, then stop.[/quote]

Agreed if there's plan to stop. I did it for 10 months while already on a gf diet due to celiac and breastfeeding already made me starving so cutting so much was rough.  Pediatrician said to keep cutting it with no evidence of improvement and no stool test but the screaming was so horrible I was willing to do anything....I tried cutting even more with no luck[/quote]
