\nI’ve been experimenting with a milk-free diet now since last Friday, hypothesizing that perhaps Adrian’s tummy troubles are caused by a milk protein allergy \/ oversensitivity. Apparently reflux can sometimes be due to milk allergy. Given how much his reflux is hurting all of us, it’s definitely worth a try. Since I cook almost all our meals from scratch anyway, it’s not difficult, really, just a bit frustrating. I like yoghurt, and cheese, and creamy sauces, and milk in my porridge.\n<\/p>\n

\nFriday afternoon I forgot my diet and took some cinnamon swirls from the freezer, and for Sunday lunch I grabbed some leftover leeks in white sauce before I realized that white sauce is mostly milk. But apart from those lapses I haven’t ingested anything with milk in it.\n<\/p>\n

\nAnd I do think it may be working. He’s been mostly scream-free since Monday: four days now. There’s some crying now and again, but not the endless inconsolable screaming we used to get. Last time I thought I saw an improvement it lasted two days only. I don’t yet dare to think that this is the new normal, but it is very nice while it lasts.\n<\/p>\n

\nMeanwhile Adrian has hit a growth spurt and is eating every 2 hours during the day (and every 3 hours, occasionally 3.5) at night. I feel like a milk machine. He barely has time to get a nap before he wakes up hungry again.\n<\/p>\n

\nHe’s already outgrown his size 50 bodies and now size 56, too. Next week he’ll be getting his 2-month checkup and we’ll find out what he weighs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
