I have documented our CMPA journey but never really spoken about the start of our journey, the doctor that laughed at me or the weeks of screaming we had to endure when Lils was a newborn. If you are sitting there wondering whether your baby has a milk allergy then hopefully this vlog will help you to know you aren’t alone, that it will be ok in the end.

November 7, 2017 at 9:04 pmHi Katy, your story is so moving. My daughter has CMPA as well and I too struggled to convince drs that something was wrong with her despite showing them the green poo! So wonderful that your kids are growing out of it though 🙂 Wanted to ask you, when did you start the milk ladder with your daughter? At 12 months?
Cheers,
Nina

November 7, 2017 at 9:11 pmHey Nina! I was scared of trying so I think it was more like 18 months. I’m due to start it again with Wills, he is 14 months now and I’m putting it off! Might try after Christmas haha!!

February 2, 2020 at 7:43 pmI’m a first time mum and it’s all too familiar the tongue tie and realising something wasn’t right when my son wasn’t gaining weight and with the poos, but struggling to get health visitors and GP to listen. He was diagnosed with CMPA and has come on amazingly since I changed my diet. Thank you for sharing, it’s good to hear from others who have been through it!
