[coral11680]

oh yes congrats on mango Tink

I was over here when Ryan was a newborn and he had lots of problems with his belly. I changed him to soy which constpated him so bad he bled when he pooped then I switched him to cow and gate easy to digest or something, and he was much much better then. When I went back to states I then put him on goodstart which is supposed to be gentle on tummy's and he was good with that also.

My chart isnt showing anything under the CM level im filling it in ie headache, illness n soy but cant see it x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Thanks hopes! Good morning honey x

Yes, I think that cow and gate one is called cow and gate comfort, I used it for my last baby. Oh my, yes I can sympathise with the colic Pops, My little girl had it. Also spend a few night shifts pacing the wards with a screaming baby very hard times

Coral, up to you honey, I'm easy only day I can't do is Friday, sure your feeling up to it today? x

Yes.......gonna snap out of Dr mode now x

i know NOTHING about all this formula stuff and babys pooping and all. but i know when i was a newborn i had serious issues it started with appearing constipated and then i wouldnt eat and i turned very dark purple all over and my belly swelled like a bowling ball- over the course of about 2 weeks it all turned very bad. my parents took me to a few different doctors and nobody could figure it out then finally emergency room pediatrician found out it was something about milk that wasn't common-i think it was that i had "true" lactose intolerance from the time i was born. so my mom had to stop breastfeeding and switch to soy or something.

whats the chances that i wont be able to breastfeed for the same reason? these days, dont they have lactase drops for things like that if they arent TOO severe? i'll be really disappointed if for some reason i can't breastfeed, but i think theres lots of ways around these things now right?

 

[poppy666]

Yes Tink thats what korben ended up on till around 8wks C&G Comfort and it dont half stink when they poo or fart a lot thicker too... never had all these when my other 3 were babies you just had one sort n thats it... he's still on hungry baby now, but want to wean him off n put on our milk soon as he only has 3 bottles in 24hrs now at nearly 11mths x

 

[coral11680]

Tink I'm up for today if you are!

Hopes I'm not sure of the chances of your baby inhereting your lactose intolerence. Don't worry about it until the times comes. Hopefully you will have no problems breastfeeding hun

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Don't panic hopes. True intollerance like your describing is rare, and even if your baby suffers with it, its likely you can still continue breastfeeding. First step would be for you to eliminate milk products from your diet. Secondly you make sure your baby fully empties the first breast before offering the second (which is advised anyway) cause too much of the first milk you produce during a feed can mean higher levels of Lactose for the baby to digest where the hind milk that they get towards the end of the feed on a breast is higher in fat and lower in glucose which will cause this. Then if that fails you can use Lactase drops which contain the enzime to digest the Lactose that they lac naturally as you mentioned. Also back then doctors used to move babies onto formula a lot more often, they know better (or should know better) now x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Dr Hat off again

Ok Coral/Louse its a date

 

[Hopes314]

thats what i thought tink, i feel like they know a lot more now about breastfeeding and about lactose intolerance and all, so im hoping its really no big deal if i happen to pass that on lol.

 

[Hopes314]

[Tinkerbellxxx]
