XP: Symptoms of WCM sensitivity

I also posted this on the breastfeeding forum.

What are symptoms that WCM isn't agreeing with LO?  DS is 13 months, and up until last week, he was getting bottles that were between 25/75 and 50/50 BM and WCM.  This week, I switched to giving him one bottle of BM and the rest WCM.  Last night was a difficult night for him.  He awoke about 10:30 pm (which isn't unusual for him), and he was almost inconsolable.  He wasn't interested in nursing much and he was arching his back and wiggling around quite a lot.  I took him to bed with me (which happens almost every night), and even that didn't calm him.  Typically, he sleeps great once he's in bed with me.  It basically took him crying himself to sleep, with me trying unsuccessfully to soothe him.

I'm wondering if this could be related to the WCM.  It seems like a problem with his stomach.  It could be teeth.  I know it's not his ears, because I had his ears checked earlier in the week after a similar episode.

    What are his BM's looking like? Are they irregular or super hard? Most of the sensitivities we have seen here have been rashes or bloody diapers.

    Mason's sensitivities included the exact temperament you have described. He didn't really have a lot of symptoms. It was difficult to conclude. He does have eczema and I felt like it flared up more when he had WCM in his system. His bowels were opposite of most people. They were little rock solid pebbles; he had a difficult time with bowels. He also spit up small amounts fairly randomly

    Since going to Almond milk he's been a different kid. He's so enjoyable and I can tell he just feels so much better. He's no longer turning away food and sippy cups.

    The BM's I've seen have looked normal.  I'll ask the daycare ladies when I pick him up if they've noticed a difference. 

    I'll see if DS is better this weekend, when he won't be getting WCM's just breast milk.  He never had a sensitivity to me having dairy.
