Pedestrian appointment

 Layton pedritians appointment. 

We had been long awaiting this appointment, after all Layton tummy problems.

Due to covid still being a concern only one of us could go with him. Therefore I took him up on my own. The nurse started by weighing him, did his height and head circumference and he was hitting all milestone he should be. Weighing 15lb.5 Oz now. Then we saw the pedritian doctor.

She had an examination of his tummy and bottom area, said his skin was much better from photos we had when he was on the previous milk. After going through all his history, like what milks he been on, what were  the reactions. I showed the video we had of his screaming in pain. 

She said that it's seems like a coconut allergy so to avoid that, also keep doing dairy free for now to let his tummy settle before weaning dairy at 9 months. That we had to keep a food dairy when we wean and be careful to watch for other reactions to some things that could flare with coconut like tree nuts of some fruits like kewi. He will then been seen by her again in April to see how weaning has gone. 

She is also refering him for blood test to test milk and coconut. And can add anything on if he has reactions as we wean. If he then needs further skin prick test will be ordered, same thing that we gone through with Ariyah. 

His tummy they saw that his muscles are very tight and he is struggling to control that natural release to have a bowel movements that some babies can take up to 6 months to learn to release the muscles however also because he had allergic reactions and consipation early in his life he tensing because it used to hurt so he also subconsciously thinks it's going to be painful. 

He has settle so much more on this new milk so hopefully he will improve and can reintroduce dairy so he does not build up such an allergy like Ariyah.
