Cows milk protein allergy….. CMPA… I had never heard of it until one day when Mr Small was about 5 months old and suddenly I had to become an expert overnight.

There are so many things that could happen to your body after you have a baby that nobody tells you when you’re pregnant….. Obviously not everything happens to everyone and scaremongering pregnant ladies is never a good idea but something completely unexpected happening to you can come as a bit of a shock!
For me this shock came in the form of Diastisis Recti (or Abdominal Separation).
For my whole pregnancy people were telling me how lucky I was that I didn’t look like I’d put on weight anywhere apart from my ever increasing bump – this sounded like a good thing but little did I know (not that I could have changed it) that this was a contributing factor to the substantial separation I suffered with my abdominal muscles.
