Hey all
I’m posting out of shear exhaustion.
since moving our little one to cows milk at 12 months old and starting childcare- now approaching 15 months old. His nappy’s have been blighted with almost biweekly bouts of diarrhoea which last a week.
Other than then sad nappy’s he’s not unwell, will eat anything out in front of him and generally a happy boisterous toddler.
I've taken him to the doctors almost weekly and this week demanded they check his stool for infection etc.
Doctor is convinced it’s not a dairy intolerance as his formula contained dairy and that it’s just tummy bugs as it comes and goes-although I’d argue since moving him off formula I’m yet to see any stool which represents anything close to health against the Bristol chart.
i get that little ones get unwell but this doesn’t seem normal but he’s our first child. The other issue is that as soon as he has a sloppy nappy he’s sent home from nursery and can’t go back for 72 hours. He’s been in his provision 2 months now and spent at least half that time at home and I’ve more or less exhausted my annual leave already for 2025 looking after him. Work are getting pissy to the point me and my partner are going to have to sit down and consider one of us quitting to look after him full time as it’s impossible to juggle home and work- we also can afford this/our quality of life would change dramatically.
has anyone else had similar and if so did anything help - considering switching him to soy or introducing probiotics subject to the outcome of his stool sample test.
