Hi,

What are the sighs i should look out for to know if lo has developed and digestive prob or milk intorerance?

my little man for the past 2 weekly weigh in's has lost weight. Now a total of 7oz so still only weighs 12lb 5oz at 15 weeks old. he was putting it on nicely then dropped a breast feed wanting a bottle instead. when all his probs started

he now has only 1 b/feed and 3x5oz bottles (i do offer him more but just leaves it everytime)

in the past 2 1/2 weeks we've has watery green runny poo, constipation+ransid farts and brown poo. he's also now a far more sicky baby then ever before.

the hv 's just dont seem bothered!

hi thats how finley was when i put him onto formula i spoke to my hv and she said its him being milk intolerant and switched his milk to a perscribed one called nutramigen its a hypoalergenic milk he is still a very sicky baby but doesnt have the green poo anymore and doesnt have the tummy pain i would go to see your doc and tell him you want to try him on nutramigen

My lo had a suspected milk allergy (all the girls in my family are allergic to dairy) but it turned out not to be. I didn't ask my hv (she is not that great - a nice lady but far too wishy washy for my liking!), I just went to see my gp who prescribed a special milk for her to try.
I would suggest that you go and see your gp and tell him/her that your lo's problems have only appeared after you introduced formula.
Best of luck.

thanks for comments
i've now made dr's apt this afternoon so shall see what happens then

keep us posted xx

just thought i'd say that it is my comment by 'tigga22'
had a friend come over for a cofffee and log in as her on this site but i didnt realise she hadnt logged out.

well were back from docs.

ive got a laxative to give him but no special milk cause were curently on cow and gates comfort milk but if he's lost yet more weight at baby club on tues i am to return for special milk. he said it'd be pointless cause him system wouldnt be able to take a change of milk and laxative at the same time

so i'm up for a good weekend knee deep in stinky poo!!!! wow thats really exciting!
