Milk allergy help

So my little girl gets incredibly constipated on cows milk. So we swapped her to oat milk, fixed the problem but she almost goes too far the other way. She still has other dairy like cheese etc but that’s fine. So on Saturday we swapped back to cows milk and she’s now already struggling to poo, so it’s clearly the issue. But I don’t know what to do as on oat milk she’s very loose and can do 4 a day. But on cows milk she’s struggling and crying to poo!! I’m so stuck, doctors are no help!

My baby was exactly the same. Give lactose free milk a try instead of oat milk and see how she gets on. It is still dairy and whole milk, but it is easier for baby to digest. I’m finding my girl is slowly becoming more tolerant to dairy now and we are going to try moving to whole milk from next week. She’s so much better than she was so fingers crossed it will work x

I’ve just moved to plentish barista oat milk. It doesn’t have any of the added nasties such as oils etc. maybe try that and see if less additives helps.
My girl has a cowl milk allergy so have have tried loads of different ‘milks’

Oh ok thank you both, they both sound like good ideas to try. I see that oatly milk literally has oats. Water and salt and I looked at the ingredients of the one I was giving her and it did have a fair few additives in it so I did wonder if that was what was doing it x

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?
