Hi Caroline!
Thanks for your response. I had a VERY easy labor. I was only in for 2 hours and I only pushed twice. She is really sick and I am convinced that my breastmilk is making her this way. She can't keep any of it on her stomach. She spits up curds of it. She is either constipated or she has diahrrea. I really want to breastfeed and the homeopath I saw suggested that I clean my system out and pump milk for 10 days during the cleansing. Then after the cleansing, things should be fine. My problem is this, she can't stomach the formula either and because of this, the homeopath wants me to make my own formula using enriched rice milk, brown rice syrup and water. I do not feel comfortable giving my child this because she is so young. I don't think that will give her enough nutrients but then again, if she is throwing up everything I give her, she isn't getting nutrients from that either. I am really at a loss for what to do because I really want to breastfeed, but I want my child to remain healthy and not be sickly like she is. Do you have any suggestions? Do you know of any homeade formulas I can make? Anything you can tell me will be helpful.
Thank you so much for your help!
