Althera

[Orangechips654123]

Hi all,

Just come out of a hospital stay with my 3 week old. Been having terrible poops with blood and mucus in them with a green tinge. Had blood work and stool sample taken, bloods show no sign of infection nor bacteria, still waiting for stool results. He is showing no other issues, plenty of wet nappies, no vomiting, no fever, no temperature, no loss of appetite etc. The hospital have no prescribed Althera as potentially an allergy to the aptamil we were using (was breastfed for 5 days then went to aptamil and was only on that brand).
I was wondering what others may have experienced using a prescribed formula, it's seems so watery in comparison.
Thanks

unfortunately all prescription formulas for cow’s milk protein allergy are very thin. My baby is on neocate and it’s almost like water. We’ve also tried Nutramigen and puramino and they’re the same consistency. It’s the nature of these formulas I’m afraid. If you’re concerned about it coming back up and your baby seems in pain from reflux you can try a thickener called carobel. Works wonders for some. It gives my baby tummy discomfort but because he’s not bothered about the reflux we leave the formula as is and just accept the increase in laundry!!
