so as some of u may remember i had some problems with regular formula and after alot of upset we finally settled onto SMA LF, Annabelle was so content on the milk, we went for our review at the doctors and he told us to start weaning her back onto regular SMA.
We did this by introducing 1 bottle a day for a week then uped it to 2 bottles then 3, my HV then said now she is on 3 just give her all bottles regular SMA.
so as of last saturday (7th) Annabelle had all SMA formula and seemed ok but on sunday she had 1 case of diarrhoea, then monday she had loads and a temp, i gave her calpol and rang HV as i was worried it was the milk, she said oh its a bug she will be fine after 3-4 days.
so by saturday she was still having very bad nappies and i phoned NHS direct because i was a worried wreck. they said see HV on monday.
sunday she came out on a rash all over er face, i phoned back cos to me this was a new symptom so again paranoid mother calls back they said see your GP in morning.
so monday the loose nappies have died down, but still having them. OH and she has stopped sleeping through the night which she has done from 8 weeks old 8pm till 6am
i phoned HV monday and she made me feel awful, she told me i needed to bring my baby down to be weighed tomorrow because its not natural for a baby to sleep that long so she is prob underweight!!!! she was 14lb 1oz when i had her weighed at 13 weeks hardly underweight.
so tonight camt the final straw after more screaming and another loose nappy, i called to have an emergency call back from the doctor. she called back and said she sounds lactose intolerant and wants her immediately back on SMA LF and that the rash is prob her body having an allergic reaction to the milk
i feel like such a bad mother for not trusting my own instinct and listening to the HV.
so sorry for the rant girls but i havent anyone else to talk to about it that understands
