5 M.O explosive poo after every bottle

[glasshalffull0]

My 5 M.O has never had any bowel problems or feeding issues until now. Over the past few days every time she has a decent sized bottle she’s been having an explosive poo pretty much immediately after. It’s not a big poo but it is a pale yellow colour and has lots of mucous. She seems happy in herself and has okay weight gain but recently has started rejecting her milk a bit- she’s gone from having 7oz bottles every 3 hours to barely getting through 4-5.

she is currently teething (I can see the teeth coming through), she was quite poorly 2 weeks ago that she only just seems to be fully over and I had a bad D&V bug this time last week. My main concern is that she’s developing an intolerance to her milk- although I don’t know if that can happen at. 5 MO?

thank you in advance

Winding is your friend here.

The poo is explosive because there is trapped wind behind it.

Make sure you get a burp after every bottle and the problem will go away.

Is it possible she has a mild dose of the bug? This happened with my DS at 6 months, he didn’t get it from us but was a bit iffy for a while

He did then get D&V at 8 months and wasn’t right for a good few weeks

Children can also develop temporary lactose intolerance after a bug?

@CatchHimDerry I did wonder that. I couldn’t eat for 2 days without it ending in a disaster so she might have a milder version. She hasn’t been right ever since the bad cold she had a few weeks ago.

I didn’t know that about the temporary intolerance! She even did it at 3am last night which she hasn’t done since she was a few weeks old
