So basically when our LO was newborn, she was griping a lot, constipated, and screaming out in pain
My husband had a milk intolerance when he was a baby so went to the doctors and they put us on Aptamil Pepti 1 Cows Allergy Formula.
Now that we are weaning, the HV told us to request a referral from doctors to a dietician/pediatrician to help us with introducing dairy or how to wean without.
Went to Doctors and they said, there is no medical reason for the referral as she hasnt had a reaction to dairy. Try her on some dairy first and then if she has a reaction we will refer you.
Also, my LO has not been drinking her bottles, she hasnt gained weight in a couple months and her nappies have recently not been very wet.
Doctor said that if she is weaning, give her water for meal times and feed her as much as she will accept. Don't just do 1x meal a day (she's 6 months 10 days)
So we've been feeding her 3x meals a day, I've introduced butter to her meals, I've been blending/pureeing potatoes, veg & meat with 90ml-120ml of formula for her meals and also giving her cucumber sticks which she's had since 5 months and slowly introducing different items.
Since we started blending our own puree, including butter and giving her water, her nappies have been wet which is great however, her poops have gone super grainy and thick but also watery/oily (Sorry for the gross pic)
Yesterday she pooped 4x times, and its also very mucusy.
Today she pooped twice within 15 minutes and I'm just worried that I'm making things worse.
Has anyone had this experience when weaning or had similar poos and what was the cause?
Should I cut out dairy and see if it changes or if this is normal push on with weaning?
I'm a very worried mama right now, dont want her to lose weight or be dehydrated
She's a happy baby still, not signs of unwell, just trumping a lot and sometimes crying when trumping which makes me think upset tummy.
