i'm concerned that my ds has an intollerance to something, thinking back i think its dairy as ever since it was introduced we've had very sloppy nappies/poos in potty, stuffy nose and cough, he's 10 mo so i put it down to teething and then just being winter but now if seems to have been going on a while - i stopped bfeeding at 7 mo and he's having 2 feeds of formula a day now plus eating pretty much everything, except tomato because i cut that out when he stopped sleeping through and it looked like he had colic and it worked.

I was worried about a wheat intollerance because dh is intollerant but noticed no change to ds when introduced wheat at 9 mo... any ideas? bought some goats milk today to put on cereal instead and was going to make a week or so dairy free to see if that helped his general health (in saying that he is very happy in him self i just know he's not 100%) but if he's having formula surely i won't see much difference??

any advice greatly received! what would give him such constantly sloppy nappies? (btw putting him on the potty as if he poo's in nappy and sits in it for more than a minute he gets bad nappy rash as poo seems really acidic... is that symtomatic of something?)

hello all,

am quite happy he is getting all vits in milk but have added lots of leafy green veg for calcium and meat for protein so hopefully will be ok

fingers crossed its temporary - only been doing probiotics for two days so needs a bit longer to see whats happening

yum03 - would be really interested to see te stuff about milk intollerance - is it something you could email?

ds has moved from really snotty nose and tickly cough to really phemly - it made him sick in the car today really wish i hadn't given him apple and blueberries for breakfast! hate this kind of experientation on him.... he still seems really happy though so can only take that as a good sign

Insywincy - yep I could scan it and email to you if you want.

Also meant to say that SMA provide an excellent little booklet on milk allergies - it is really good to explain the different type of milk allergies in simple terms. Also has receipes in it too. - you could ring their "care-line". I got free tee-shirt and badge from them saying "No cows milk for me please" !

hello - haven't got round to ringing sma yet but thanks for suggestion, will do that before i get you to scan stuff!

all going quite well here - first proper proper poo today! no leakage! how sad is my life

can probiotics make him windy?? only ask cause poo is better but he is really windy!... could be all the veg tho!

i just wanted to say thanks to everyone who replied to my post - since taking your advice and cutting out dairy i have an even happier baby which has been lovely he's using the potty fine and his poo looks like 'real' poo again

feeling very happy that we've sorted this out - am in the process of slowly reintroducing foods and keeping my fingers crossed it was all temp from bug

thanks guys for your support!
