please help! I am convinced my 6 week old baby has a Cows Milk allergy but healthcare professionals are disagreeing. My baby is formula fed… started with Kendamil, changed to Cow and Gate now Kendamil Goats milk. I changed to Goats milk hoping it would be ‘lighter’ on my baby’s stomach however symptoms continue if not worsen.
Symptoms include:
-rash on face, down to neck
-diarrhoea (every 2/3 days ish)
-uncomfortable passing of wind
-bringing up mouthful of feeds (every feed)
-straining to pass poo (regularly)
-coughing during feed
-regular hiccuping
-regular crying
-unsettled, brings up legs under tummy
I am feeling defeated! The dietitian has prescribed instant carobel but I have done my best to give my baby organic ingredients… I know I should have breast fed!.. but a mistake I have learnt from. I don’t know half the ingredients in instant carobel and is not recommended long term, but the dietitian has advised to use until on solids?
I am desperate for an answer to many sleepless nights and watching my baby struggle.
