My little girl is newly 5 months and formula fed and her poo use to be yellow , watery with stringy consistency and sometimes had seeds in it . And then lots of other symptoms that led to me thinking she might have a cows milk allergy .
We’ve been put on sma althera and have been on it for a week now , although some of the symptoms she was having has got better . She’s still being sick and omg her poos are dark green and are explosive diarrhoea to the point it’s leaking out of her nappy (her nappies aren’t too small ) but she fills the nappy and it’s everywhere they are pure runny and smells like rotten eggs and has about 4/5 of these a day and it seems like she has her bottle and then 5 mins later has a poo like it’s going straight through her .
I just want to ask is this normal ?

So she's most likely in the 6 week detox process as it takes 6 weeks for dairy to come out of her body so poop will be funny for a while keep an eye on it and if it gets worse or changes get her seen around 6 weeks you should see a massive improvement

We don’t use the sma but it does take a while to transition to the new milk and get the dairy out of the system. We had a few weeks of green diapers after swopping to Aptamil Pepti and the milk itself has a weird smell so the burps and farts willl curl your toes- sadly that doesn’t go away. If after a couple of weeks or so it’s not better it might be worth speaking to GP and getting a totally dairy free formula rather than just the extra hydrolysed milk. We found the change in general wellness very quick but if that’s not any better either it may be worth reviewing formula again
