Cows milk protein

[seven201]

My daughter is coming up to 9 weeks old. She has reflux and ranitidine is helping with that. Went to the gp today (yesterday now!) and we're going to try going cows milk free to see if she is intolerant. She's combination fed with 2 bottles a day. We've got the prescription formula. My issue is on Thursday I have a hospital thing so will be away from her for the day. I have been expressing in preparation for this day since she was born. Expressing does not come easy to me I cried when I spilt some. I know it can take up to two ish weeks for the cmp diet to make any difference. Is that for it to get out of the mother's body? can I use the expressed milk or if I should give her formula for the day?

Hi,

I currently have twins born at 35 weeks. My second twin was on aptamil until 4 weeks however, he was becoming very distressed, sick and constipated. Looking back I think it was colic. However, the doctor told me to take him of aptamil and put him on lactose milk. However, he was still sick and had diarrhoea the doctor then told me to give him semiliac. After just one feed he was projectile sick the doctor then gave me Nutricia Neocate and again the same thing. He was then seen by a dietician who said he should never have been given lactose milk as he had no symptoms. Due to him being a sickie baby they said he had reflux and prescribed gaviscon. Since then he’s been on aptamil for 10 days and I’ve been giving gaviscon. Today I noticed out of 5 poo nappies 2 have had red blood jelly like poo. He has no other symptoms could this be cmpa?

Thanks in advance

I'd give one if the BFing Helplines a call and talk to a BFC. Have you got the numbers?
