I had similar problems with my son at about the same age. From a few weeks of age he cried almost solidly for 14 hrs per day until he was 9 mths old! He would then fall asleep exhausted for the night. By eliminating all dairy and most of the other food I liked I found I could still breastfeed! Made me feel rather resentful though so I am not sure if it was worth it really. I respect your decision to find an alternative. I weaned my son on to goats milk over a prolonged period of time and he finally weaned himself from me totally at 15 mths when I was pregnant the second time. He continued on goats milk until age 2 1/2 when I put him on to soy and then on to cows milk at about 3 1/2, but I have discovered at age 5 that he is still intollerant and its affecting his ears (fluid in ears). Now I am back to limiting his diet to see if it helps.

With my second child i avoided all dairy and things that triggered off my older childs intollerance and I had very few problems.

Hand in there! Good luck.

Good luck
