dairy issues?

002994182

At what point do you try eliminating dairy? I've read MSPI is not actually as common as the internet would have you believe.

LO is 11 weeks (but 8 weeks adjusted age) and for the last week he has been EXTRA gassy. Gas has always been an issue - wakes him up while sleeping during the day and at night from gas pain. He has slept more than 3 consecutive hours only 3-4 times since birth, usually wakes every 2 hours at night. We have started gas drops, but haven't seen a big improvement. His gas causes screams and tears, not just fussiness. MH had a cow's milk allergy as a baby and had to be on soy formula. We EBF. No blood in his stool and he only had green mucousy stool when we were dealing with oversupply a month ago.

I want to help my little guy feel better, but I'm wondering if cutting out all dairy is really going to help. I guess I just don't know how much gas is normal, and if he is even exhibiting enough signs of MSPI for it to be considered.

TIA, this board is a lifesaver to a new mom!
