My baby's breath smells like yogurt. I would say that your intuition is good. Trust yourself. Also, are you feeling extra anxious? I would start by eating more greens, and less dairy and eggs and wheat in my diet. You can take one of those things out for a day, and put it back into your diet if it makes no change. Each of those three things is one of the most common allergens. If you wanted to, you can try eliminating peanuts too.
@Alea that’s a good tip. I will talk to my OB at my PP follow up tomorrow and see what she says. I wouldn’t mind trying that anyway. As for anxiety, yes. Unfortunately when it comes to certain things (like baby) I tend to have a hyper-awareness of any changes. I think it’s residual bc she was born very small and had to be delivered a little early due to FGR so she stayed in the NICU for a week. for the most part she’s been very healthy. I had gestational diabetes so she had low blood sugar when she was born that normalized after a few days
@Alea I think that whole experience has made me a little hypervigilant when it comes to my baby. She’s doing extremely well now as far as we know! Growing and eating like crazy, developing a little personality, gaining weight, she sleeps well, good temperament. I feel lucky to be her mother 🥰 I just also feel a little more worried sometimes being told to be on the lookout for illness / complications after bringing her home from NICU.
A NICU baby? Aww. That makes total sense.
I had GD too.
It is a good idea to bring it up with the doctor.
@Alea I definitely will! tomorrow’s appt can’t come soon enough 😩 I only slept 2-3 hrs last night and I’m about to not get sleep all over again.
Also, if she drank sour milk - how long will she be affected like this? Can I do anything for her? I’m not sure what to do because she seems fine otherwise. Not even fussy or excessively gassy that I’ve noticed.
