Yeah, I am going to be more persistent in discussing it. We have brought it up, but because he is gaining and has enough dipes, they say he is fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-dairy-sensitivityallergy#post-1565793 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 13:29:53 +0000 swedishfish 1565793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: I would definitely bring it up to the pediatrician tomorrow. They should take your concerns seriously. It sounds like he might be reacting to the formula at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-dairy-sensitivityallergy#post-1565788 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 13:26:34 +0000 citymouse 1565788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: We have not switched. For about a week when he was 3 days old we used Enfamil because we were supplementing. We wanted to use an organic formula though so after researching we picked that one, and have used it since. </p> <p>Right, I knew that it most likely doesn't show up right away, and along with all of his other signs, it really makes me wonder. We have brought these things up to the Ped at each wellness check, and they say because he is gaining (4 lbs and 4 inches since birth) and because he has plenty of wet/dirty dipes he is fine. But, I know that isn't always the only marker of a healthy baby! It does not seem right to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-dairy-sensitivityallergy#post-1565781 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 13:20:22 +0000 swedishfish 1565781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: and, at 9.5 months, she seems to be outgrowing her dairy sensitivity. She's had yogurt and pouches with milk in them for a few weeks with no reaction. Hope your LO feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-dairy-sensitivityallergy#post-1565776 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 13:18:53 +0000 swedishfish 1565776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: have you changed formula at all? It can take a while for a dairy sensitivity to show itself though. We were able to give R milk protein formula as a newborn when I needed a break. But she broke out in hives when we started formula on a regular basis so we had to switch to hypoallergenic formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-dairy-sensitivityallergy#post-1565770 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 13:14:57 +0000 citymouse 1565770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Its Nature One Baby's Only Organic Dairy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-dairy-sensitivityallergy#post-1565768 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 13:12:33 +0000 swedishfish 1565768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Which kind of formula are you feeding LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-dairy-sensitivityallergy#post-1565765 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 13:11:04 +0000 citymouse 1565765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will be calling the Pediatrician tomorrow, but I wanted to put this out there to see if we are reading into things too much/first time parent overreacting... </p> <p>LO is 9 weeks and some days old. We are FF. This past week he threw up during his morning feed, on two different days. He wouldn't finish the feed afterwards and in general seemed disinterested in the bottle. We thought this was strange for a couple reasons, one of them being that he should be pretty ravenous considering he only wakes once at night and we don't give him a full bottle at that feed. He should be hungry for the first feed of the day!! He was smiling and cooing immediately after both mornings he threw up. He wouldn't eat much for the rest of those days. It was a struggle. We took him to the Ped and she said she thought maybe he just had a stomach bug and that he should feel better in a few days. She said as long as he was getting 20 oz, seemed happy, wasn't limp, and was making eye contact, he should be okay. </p> <p>The past few days have been really tough to get him to eat. A couple weeks ago he was taking 27-29 oz a day, pretty easily except for sometimes being sleepy or distracted. Now, we can barely get him to drink 20-24 oz and it is a struggle. He acts so hungry, then spits up a ton, and wont finish the bottle. Or, he will push the bottle out of his mouth and scream. I give him the bottle back, he sucks, then screams. Then spits up. He spits up all throughout the day. He has plenty of wet and poopy dipes. I do think his dirty dipes are close to diarrhea consistency. No mucous or blood in his stool. He has a really stuffy nose all the time. We consistently are pulling adult size wet boogies out of his nose, or finding them on his face after a nap because he sneezed them out. He also will have a rash on his face within a few hours if we don't diligently wipe his face and neck after feeds. Like if the formula sits or soaks into his skin. He has no fever. He has a strong history of dairy allergy/sensitivity on his Dad's side of the family, from both sides of DH's family. </p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
