CMPA/I - when do poos start to improve?
The last couple of weeks our 12 week old suddenly developed green, stinky, mucousy poos which also occasionally have small streaks of blood. Paediatrician asked me to cut dairy - now on day 8 of that. Will keep going for a month to see if dairy is the problem. Poos don’t seem to be improving though and saw blood again this morning…
How soon after cutting dairy did your little ones symptoms improve? And is it possible to actually have an allergy to something else (like eggs) but be mistaken for a dairy allergy? I do eat a lot of eggs so I’m wondering if it may be that…
He’s otherwise very happy and has been gaining huge amounts of weight each week up until a couple of weeks ago when the bad poos began

My 8 week old also started having green and mucousy poops. I asked the pediatrician about it 2 days ago at her 2 month appointment. Luckily my baby made a poopy diaper at the appointment and the doctor tested it for blood. It tested positive. She said if we would have waited 2-3 more weeks we would have started to see the blood. The pediatrician came to the same conclusion, that my baby is having a hard time breaking down the protein in cows milk. So she is making me cut dairy and soy as well. She said it will take 2 weeks for the dairy to leave my system and then things should clear up for baby
Yeah baby can have multiple allergies. Both my kids have multiple allergies. If you're still seeing blood, i would cut egg and see if that improves it. Are you reading all labels?
