I'm in a tough situation. My girls are 7 weeks. Two of my girls have been nursing and doing just fine. However, it has been rough with one. We think she has allergies. I have been working with my doctor cutting this and that out of my diet. We have found that it is wheat and dairy. When I cut those two things out she does just fine. If I have been eating anything from those groups she spits up, has runny BM's, sometimes breaks out in rashes and is generally just irritable. However, I feel cutting those things out may not be ideal for my other two. My doctor said as long as I was finding an alternative source of calcium it should be fine. That's a huge change to my diet though, those are two big groups. Should I suck it up and do that, or should I formula feed only this baby and try nursing again in a couple months? My doctor said babies generally will get over these triggers in about 2-4 months. What to do?
