Cows milk allergy

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

Poop question

Hey mommas I’m a ftm and my babygirl hasn’t pooped in two days she’s formula feed and is 12 weeks old. I can tell she’s uncomfortable and I feel so bad. I’ve been doing belly rubs and bicycle kicks and all the things like that. Also gave her some gas drops and gripe water to relieve the gas but still no poop. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for me. Pic so we don’t get lost💕

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Who else is out there holding a baby thru the night so his noises dont wake up the house?!

I cant believe im still doing this at 15 months old!!!

My 2nd child is not just the noisiest sleeper but they have always been weird with breastfeeding

I think currently he is having some kinda developmental leap and growth spurt, eating and drinking like crazy and in the middle of the night if he wakes up , it takes ages to put back to sleep and he rolls around making sooooo much noise!!!

And i either have a low supply now OR he loves a fast flow and so he just jumps off the boob when it slows and complains loudly or just talks cutely but loudly! and i have to keep swapping boobs OR i have to get up and hold him and feed so gravity helps and the flow is faster and holding him means he eventually sleeps or at-least is feeding properly so is bloody quiet now! So at 1 am or 3am or often 5am onwards im holding n feeding until he wakes up 🥲🥲🥲

Any tips?

How’s everyone’s babies sleeping?

My little one is 19 weeks, she used to sleep through when we would put her to bed at around 10pm, she would sleep through until 6-7 am.
Now she gets so tired around 8 pm so we moved her bedtime here, but coming with this is 1-2 night feeds and she’ll be wide awake at 6 am, which I know is still amazing but I am currently as sick as a dog so hasn’t been the best for my flu 🤣.
I’m unsure whether this is the regression though as her naps are very scattered throughout the day with the max nap being 30 minutes through contact only.
Does this sound like the regression? When did your little one start sleeping through again if they ever did? Thanks in advance 🤗❤️

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?
