Almond milk affecting my milk & baby's stools?

[dustpan]

Has anyone noticed a change in their breast milk and baby poo when eliminating normal cows milk and switching to almond milk?

I switched a week ago (now having 500ml almond per day rather than 1L of cow milk previously) and my breast milk suddenly seems thicker and creamier. Baby also possetting more after feeds.

Baby poo has changed from 4 big yellow runny poos a day to 1 browny-green poo a day which has almost no smell.

Is this all the almond milk??

Bump

Have you changed due to an allergy or purely personal preference?

Thought I would change because baby has eczema and I also have scalp psoriasis, apparently both can be helped by eliminating dairy

I don’t know about it making a difference to you milk. However, with regards to the nappies; I noticed a change in the frequency, appearance and smell as soon as I eliminated dairy. Both my DC have CMPA and their nappies were foul until we cut it so it’s likely your LOs skin problems are due to an allergy/intolerance.

Thanks @Mama05070704 that sounds like the change we've seen in nappies too. I'm amazed there can be such a noticeable difference in their poo just from me stppping cow milk!

It can affect them so much @dustpan. My youngest essentially stopped growing (failure to thrive) and dropped from the 50th+ centile to below the 0.4th before I went dairy free.

!! Gosh that's extreme. Glad you got to the cause of it
