Milk Allergy Posted: 11-13-07 12:34pm
Has anyones baby suddenly developed a milk
allergy after being on formula for several
months? The last week or so, Chandler
really fights having his bottles. When he
does finally eat it, its only because he
is starving and finally gives up fighting
it. He has a rash on his back and belly
also. Plus he has 3-4 very runny and
mucousy poopy diapers each day. This I
know is too much for one baby. He has also
been spitting up 3-5 times a day as well.
That is something he has never done. We
are off to see the doctor this week to see
if maybe this is whats going on, or if it
could possibly just be a bug. I am hoping
its just a bug. Anyways, if anyone else
has experienced this I would love some
input.

Just wondering, how old is the child and
what did you feed it when it was newborn?

it sounds to me like a bug more than an
allergy.
The mucusy stool could be a sign of a
slight infection.
Let us know how the Dr went!!

Chandler is 4 months old Thursday. He has
been on Nestle GoodStart w/Iron, which we
had to switch him from to Similac Advance
Regular. The Iron in the first was
constipating him and he was misserable. He
has been fine since then until the last 5
days. I am thinking its more a bug than
anything, however I do not want to rule
anything out until I see the doctor. He is
scheduled for his 4 month needles on
Friday, but if he is still not feeling
well I will be putting those off until he
is. So, I will know more on Friday.

if you're going to wait until friday, just
make sure he isn't getting dehydrated from
all the pooping and not taking much
formula. he should be having 3-4 wet
diapers a day, at least.

Yup, he is having lots of wet diapers. I
am monitoring that. He is peeing lots and
its a good light color and not dark like
it gets when they are dehydrated. Today he
is eating a little better. we have 4 -6 oz
bottles into him now and he is sleeping.
He's been sleeping for 2 hrs now and I am
guessing that he needs it or he wouldn't
be as he usually doesn't. He will have
another bottle when he gets up and then
one before bed. I also think that he is
changing his eating and sleeping pattern
at the same time. It has been a fun week.

Update On Chandler Posted: 11-24-07 18:38pm
Hi girls,
Sorry that I did not post earlier.
Chandler does not have a milk allergy. We
found out that we had a bad batch of
bottled water and that is why he was
having a hard time and why he was pooping
so much. I also figured out that he has an
allergy to Pampers and was getting the
rash from that. I have since switched his
water and diapers and he is fine. Thank
goodness for that. He is doing really well
so its all good.
