I'll try not to make this a long one but I can't guarantee that!
When Isabelle was about 5 weeks she was prescribed Colief as she was really unsettled, had tummy pain and colic. The HV wasn't sure at first whether she'd need a different milk like Nutrimagen (prescription one) but we tried the Colief and it worked brilliantly. Anyway, at about 11/12 weeks Isabelle started to get quite a bit of sick come up after her feeds and I put this down to being normal.
But for the last 2 weeks or so, she has been sick all the time. Its not just straight after feeds its regularly through out the day inbetween feeds and it looks really curdled and sticky. Its not projectile but looks like she might be struggling to digest it.
We've been trying to reduce the Colief as you're supposed to at about 3/4 months and have got her down to one drop per bottle but when we took he right off it yesterday she was really sick all day and really grumpy.
She's also got excema all over her tummy and legs and in her creases which I know was a symptom the HV was looking for before when trying to decide whether it was a milk intolerance or not. I've got her booked in at the docs but they couldn't fit her in until Thurs with the really good doc.
Basically, I just wondered whether anyone else using Colief had come accross this, or if anyones baby has a milk intolerance what symptoms were there and do you think I should get her in to see the doc sooner if I can? Any other advice gratefully received!!!
BTW my son has a mild milk intolerance and can have a little bit of milk products but mainly has soya milk and Isabelle is putting on weight ok I think although i've not had her done for about a month! (naughty mummy! - shes weighing lots thoughand growing out of her clothes!)
