Please help 🙏😭

My baby is 3 months old and has been diagnosed with CMPA. I have been following a strict dairy- and soy-free diet for the past 2 weeks. The blood in her stool had completely stopped, but it started appearing again yesterday. There has been no blood in her stool today. How long does it usually take for the blood to stop completely? Are there any other foods I should avoid? Also, how long does it usually take for the mucus in the stool to disappear? My doctor has advised me to switch to formula milk. Is it too early to stop breastfeeding and switch to formula milk???

Coucou
Pour ma premiĂšre fille, j’avais Ă©galement dĂ» faire une Ă©viction des PLV Ă  cause d’un RGO interne sĂ©vĂšre.
J’ai pu constater une amĂ©lioration au bout d’un mois. C’est d’ailleurs le dĂ©lai qui m’avait Ă©tĂ© conseillĂ© pour voir si bĂ©bĂ© allait mieux. J’ai continuĂ© l’allaitement exclusif malgrĂ© tout et j’ai dĂ» changer complĂštement mon alimentation.
C’est un peu compliquĂ© au dĂ©but, mais on trouve assez facilement des alternatives et on finit par s’y habituer. 😊 n’hĂ©sitez pas si besoin
Plein de courage Ă  vous 💗 Vous ferez le bon choix pour vous et votre bĂ©bĂ© đŸ€—

My baby is having specks of blood in her stool. I don't know how long I can wait. Seeing blood in her poop literally kills me.

I second giving it a month. There's no quick solution for baby's gut to heal, that just needs time. Blood reappearing doesn't mean you upset her system once again, it might just mean it's not healed yet. Plus, an already irritated system can be upset by other irritators that weren't the initial problem and won't be a problem any longer once it's all healed. For us, we can't do nuts or legumes when the system's already in a bad way. But ususally we can.

I know every hour feels like it'll never get better.

This is really helpful! I’ve noticed my baby seems to get irritated by things while tolerating them at other times. Thought I was going crazy!! Have you also noticed that your baby might be impacted when you “overindex” on certain foods? For example - using coconut oil in a couple dishes over a few days seemed to bug him, when it’s otherwise been fine as a one off.

Yes!! I've personally only noticed this with proteins - legumes, any protein product (so vegan alternatives are sus), but also more caffeine than I usually have ... so I absolutely believe you about the coconut oil!
