SO I also posted in the allergy forum because I am leaning in that direction. But I wanted to post here to see if others had similar experience and a different outcome.
My dd2 is 6 months old. She has not gained weight or length in 3.5 months. Her poops are usually green and mucusy for about 3 months now. She has purple circles around her eyes. She is doing normal developmental things like rolling, grabbing, babbling.
She is not a good sleeper, but this could be her more than something wrong I guess. A good night would be only 4-5 wake ups. She was ebf until 2.5 weeks ago, when we started solids. We were both treated for thrush, which was what I originally thought was causing all this. But that seems to be fine now and she still isn't gaining. Oh she also sounds a bit congested alot of the time.
After the various thrush treatments didn't help, I took her to a ped. I told ped I suspect and allergy. Ped seemed only to focus on weight and told me to start solids and wanted her on solids 4 times a day ( a lot at each time) by the end of a month. And she told me to go ahead and give her cow's milk. S0 I am not going back there.
I guess I wanted to know if anyone else had similar sysmptoms that weren't allergy related so I know if I am overlooking something. We tested her poop but it came back ok.
TIA

Mucousy poops are usually a very strong sign. Dairy would be my first food to eliminate (I am currently diary free for my EBF babe). . .that's the most common allergy. Or look at Dr Sears info on allergies, he has a list of the top seven common allergens.
