Can baby be allergic to my milk? she projectile vomits 5min after she drank, sometimes while she drinks. doesnt happen when she drinks lactogen, only when she drinks my milk (been on a mix since 2 weeks old, she is now 12 weeks)

Accepted Answer

Infants are rarely if ever allergic to their mothers milk. They can be sensitive to something from your diet that filters through, but it seldom produces dramatic vomiting. If anything the cow milk solids in the formula is more likely to trigger allergic issues. You may want to find a breast feeding coach to see if there are techniques you can use that can help avoid this.

Is your baby well grown?   Any travel?  Daycare? contacts with illness?  Any blood in his stool?  This may be a viral illness which causes vomiting and diarrhea.  get him checked out.  Push fluids.   Water is fine.

Question 4

My 11 day old baby is on formula milk lactogen but is feeling constipated constantly and there is so much gas in her stomach. what can i change her to or how can i relieve the constipation?

Accepted Answer

Infants that age often struggle with feeds & pooping. Their weak belly muscles often need assistance of their fussing/breathing muscles to move food along or poop. If it is soft when they go it is normal. If they pass hard rabbit pellets you can add full strength prune juice, 1 oz 1-3X/d spaced out. The sugar in this juice is not absorbed well & acts as a laxative.

Question 5

Why mucous in infant stools sometimes accompanied by tiny blood strains. my baby is almost 5 months old . we have switched to goat milk one month ago.

Of the same proteins as cow's milk, so babies can develop an allergy to it. Goat's milk has 1/5th as much vitamin B12 & 1/10th as much Folic Acid as cow's milk. There's 1 mcg of folic acid/8 oz.Of goat's milk. Babies need 75 -100 mcg daily. Some commercial brands of goat's milk formulas add extra folic acid. See your pediatrician for supplements or change of formula  & evaluation of the bleeding.

Question 6

Infant constipation. we have tried prune juice oatmeal and soy milk and nothing is working. can we use a stool softener and what foods to avoid.

Apple sauce, bananas & rice cereal are the main constipators in most infants. Peaches, pears, plums & barley cereal are usually helpful in loosening them.Prune or apple juice(regular adult, not dilute baby) given in amounts of 1-2 ounces 1-2 x/day for a minimum of 3 days will usually loosen a kid.Good luck.

Hi my one month old baby is feeling stomach ache and his stool is yellowish whats the best medication he can take i also breast feed and give him nutri baby formula milk?

Accepted Answer

First ask your pediatrician for help. Then, have your baby evaluated by a pediatric dentist who is skilled in tongue & lip tie releases; usually with a laser. If your baby is lip &/or tongue tied, it can inhibit proper lip seal which allows gas in it’s tummy called Aerophagia. Gut biome is also affected causing discoloration in stool.
