Question 1

baby has been fed s26 lactose free baby formula (0-12 months) due to allergies since birth, just turned 1 year old, what formula can i give?

Accepted Answer

? allergies?: Hard to be sure. S26 appears to be a formula based on cow milk protein that has been broken up to where the babies body does not react to any of the proteins.If other solid foods have been added without problems it may be possible at a year to use a soy/almond or other such milk rather than formula as you expand the kids diet. Please coordinate this with his doc.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Dark : Dark karo syrup has been used for years as a constipation remedy in babies - and it used to work well.  Unfortunately, the manufacturing of karo syrup has changed over the last few years causing it to be less effective in treating constipation.  There is also a chance of infant botulism - a very rare form of food poisoning - associated with karo syrup.

That being said, constipation is common in infants and there are a couple of other things you can do to help.

1.) give pear or prune juice - 1oz/age in months/day so in your case 1 oz. Not only does prune or pear juice have sugar which can help soften bms, but also has fiber (notice the gritty texture when you drink it?). This does not mean that you should be feeding your baby juice as a part of her regular diet, but it's ok in daily small amounts to treat constipation.

2.) if juice does not work, then you can try a glycerine suppository which you can buy over the counter. Just cut a pea-sized piece of the glycerine and place it in the baby's anus to lubricate the hard stool. This is not meant for daily use, so if you find that your baby needs a suppository in order to have a bm despite dietary changes, discuss with your child's doctor.

3.) do not use mineral oil, laxatives or enemas. These methods are not safe for infants.

4.) finally, if constipation is persistent and not improved with any of the above recommendations, be sure to contact your baby's doctor. There are some very rare underlying disorders such as hirschprung's disease, cystic fibrosis or hypothyroidism that can cause chronic constipation.

Question 6

similac advanced to enfamil prosobee issues with no bowel movement but normal stools. then hard stools changed to gentlease 2daysago. no bm yet.

Accepted Answer

Soy troubles: Constipation can be a common occurrence with soy formulas.  You may want to discuss alternatives with the pediatrician, but in the meantime infant glycerin suppositories may help.  Infants over 6 months of age can be supplemented with juice such as pear or prune.  It takes about two weeks for the lining of the bowels to re-adapt to a new formula, so frequent formula changes is not recommended.

Question 7

can a parents allergies be passed on to their children?

Accepted Answer

Not Exactly: What is passed genetically from parent to child is the propensity to develop atopy (such as eczema, asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergies) but usually not sensitization to specific allergens which the parent is allergic to.  The exception, which is a controversial topic, is drug allergies, but this is usually dependent on metabolism of the drug which is inherited rather than the allergy.

Question 8

can a parents' allergies to various foods be passed on to their children?

Accepted Answer

No: The condition of being allergic is certainly an inherited property.  Often, that tendancy is greater in children whose biological mother has allergies.  However, specific allergy is generally not thought to be inherited.  That is, a parent can be allergic to food, and their children allergic to pollen or insect stings.

Question 9

please describe a good source of calcium for children that have a milk allergy ?

Accepted Answer

Lots of Stiuff: Fortified soy milk for beginners.  Dark leafy greens like spinach, kale, turnips, and collard greens. Fortified orange juice. Sardines. Enriched breads, grains, and waffles.

Question 10

is it ok to give my 8yr old ibuprofin while he took a dose of cvs children allergy medicine an hour ago?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Just please give the medication according exactly to the dosing and weight guidelines on the package. The allergy medicine is an antihistamine. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic (fever reducer) medication.
