Milk intolerance? Allergies?
Posted by: Alan in Milk Allergies, tags: Allergies, Intolerance, Milk
Hi.
My daughter is 14 months old and i still have her on S26 gold formula and am thinking of putting her on cow’s milk. The other day i gave her a 150ml bottle of 99% fat free cow’s milk and she seemed ok for the rest of the day, but developed gas later that night. The next day she had a runny stool that smelled so horrible, one of the worst i have ever smelt! So do you think it’s the milk that caused her symptoms? Do you think she could have a milk Allergy or intolerance? Or is it just her stomach being sensitive because she isn’t use to it?
Thanks, your help would be great

She might just be getting used to it. Wait a few days then offer it again. If the same thing happens talk to a doctor.
Toddlers are supposed to drink whole vitamin D milk not skim/1%/Fat Free. They need the higher fat content.

Her stomach is just getting used to the milk that’s all. Her BM will become normal after a few days and then she will LOVE drinking milk. My baby is 12 months and that’s how she was. And I only giver her whole milk

Hi,
I would give her milk on cereal first then start to mix half milk and half formula.
You need to use full cream milk too.
Goodluck

It takes a few weeks for her to adjust to new milk–she shouldn’t be drinking a bottle at all–and the switch should be gradual. Do 75% formula to 25% whole milk for 3 to 4 days, then do 50% formula to 50% milk, for 3-4 days, then do 25% formula 75% milk for 3 to 4 days, then all milk. MUCH easier on her system as she gets used to the milk. After a week of being on ONLY milk with no formula mixed in at all and her poop is still runny, THEN call the doctor.

I think you should try it again. If it’s still happening in a few days, call your pediatrician.

Might be lactose intolerant.
She needs whole milk though… fat free is no good for babies and toddlers.
