Milk

Can a toddler suddenly become allergic or form an intolerance to milk? He keeps being sick especially at night when he’s had a bottle. I will get it looked at but I don’t want to go to the doctors if it’s not even possible, has anyone had this before please?

My 3yo now had dhiarea, and i think it's from milk. He was gassy before, but now it's getting worse. We did blood test but not on milk, so i will rise this up to doctors again 🤷‍♀️ deffinetley get him checked with doctors, but say its been going on for more than a week, so they take it more seriously 🙌

Looking back I realise she probably had a milk allergy all along as spent the first year screaming non stop and inkeot getting brushed off by the GP.. but when she moved to cows milk at 1 it got a million times worse as was was immediately throwing up anything that had any form of milk in it and we’ve been DF since 🙃🙃🙃

@Alice right, its so sad GP dont check babys and let them suffer in pain 😪 my little girl was crying and gassy until i swapped to soya at 1yo 😏

honestly she was screaming in pain sometimes for hours on end, in her first year we had 6 a&e trips from me calling 111 in the middle of the night like she’s been screaming without rest for 2-3 hours and they were literally hearing her and dispatching ambulances to my house because it was that much of a blood cursling cry… I went to the doctors so many times explaining she doesn’t just have reflux but she throws up most bottles and creates full blown puddles around my house.. like me her the bed and the floor would all be COVERED like 5 times a day and we just got ignored basically and told I was exaggerating.. still get major mom guilt about it but I pushed as much as I could.. I never considered it being an allergy as I always assumed it would cause a rash or something more obvious but in a whole year of hospital trips and gp visits, health visitors, midwives the lot… not ONE person even mentioned the possibility of it being an allergy😭😭😭

it's so sad 😪 my middle one was screaming nights and I got him to A&e and doctor checked his belly, said it's soft and nice, he is fine. Like why did he cry then so much from pain? So he got angry to me and basicly said bye 😏 I don't know what we have to do, so the doctors would look to kids differently then now 😪

“ it’s colic she’ll grown out of it” was all I got… like she’s 11 months old she shouldn’t have colic what sort it bullshittery is that

as and when I have another baby I’ll be aware of what allergies can come across as and I’ll be able to query it with doctors but as a first time mom I had no clue, I assumed it would be visibly obvious if she had an allergy😫

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

Help

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

Is this normal?

My 12m old is really funny with kids going near him, he’s always been this way, but anytime family’s kids sit next to him or head his way he moans or cries and moves away. He also really observes them and is never really relaxed, always looking over his shoulder. Has anyone experienced this? (He’s starting nursery properly tomorrow so hoping this helps) but is this normal?

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.
