This is a general timeline of the symptoms my son had along the way. This is a rough estimate of when I noticed certain symptoms.<\/p>\n

First few months of life:
\n\u2013 Multiple painful forceful letdowns of my milk
\n\u2013 Latch looked okay but son could not hold latch and would pop of breast frequently
\n\u2013 Letdowns during feeds cause son to cough & gag during feed and cause him frustration during feeds
\n\u2013 Short and frequent nursing sessions
\n\u2013 White blotched and cracked nipples
\n\u2013 Painful clogged ducts (not fully draining each breast at each feed)
\n\u2013 Frequent Sucking blisters on his lip
\n\u2013 Hard to burp
\n\u2013 Reflux
\n\u2013 Screamed every car ride
\n\u2013 Fussy after feeds
\n\u2013 Rarely sleeps & wakes frequently
\n\u2013 Tips for treating oversupply not providing relief
\n\u2013 Pumping before feeds did not stop forceful letdowns
\n\u2013 No pumping altogether did not decrease supply
\n\u2013 Suggested feeding positions for oversupply do not provide relief
\n\u2013 Applying pressure to different areas of the breast does not help<\/p>\n

3 months:
\n(Same as above)
\n\u2013 Drooled like crazy (didn\u2019t cut a tooth until one year)
\n\u2013 Bottle-feeding vs nursing does not help colicky behavior<\/p>\n

6 months:
\n(Same as above)
\n\u2013 Pediatrician sent to new LC. She and her partner agreed he had a good latch. Suggested nipple shield. (He would not take)
\n\u2013 Bites when nursing to stop flow of milk when not teething
\n\u2013 Tongue seems to be attached to the floor of his mouth
\n\u2013 Tongue doesn\u2019t lift when he cries
\n\u2013 He can\u2019t lick (popsicle test)
\n\u2013 He can\u2019t stick tongue out past bottom teeth
\n\u2013 Introduction of food not helping colicky behavior
\n\u2013 Babies usually can mimic you sticking out your tongue at this stage. Mine could not.<\/p>\n

9 \u2013 12 months:
\n(Same as above. No longer nursing)
\n\u2013 Meds do not improve reflux
\n\u2013 Formula changes are not helping colicky behavior (Similac, Similac Sensitive, Alimentum, Elecare & Neocate)
\n\u2013 Goats milk not helping
\n\u2013 Allergy elimination diets are not helping
\n\u2013 Skin prick testing negative
\n\u2013 Food Journals showing not correlation to culprits
\n\u2013 Constipation
\n\u2013 Rarely sleeps or sleeps for quick periods of time
\n\u2013 Not able to sleep through the night
\n\u2013 Seems to be able to drink better out of straw than bottle or sippy<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
