Hi ladies,
I know this isn't the right forum section but there is a lot more activity in this section.
My son suffers terribly with wind and is also suffering with very runny poops, however this doesn't really bother him. I've tried everything from baby massage, winding after every 2 oz, changing his bottles now using Dr Browns, even tried the comfort milk but he wouldn't drink it!
I've had him at the doctors who were quick to prescribe gaviscon but this made this a million times worse so i stopped it, the doctors have now referred him to a pediatric doctors for a possible milk intolerance or allergy. The doctors wouldn't prescribe any thing for him but after speaking with HV she reluctantly agreed that he could try soy milk formula.
However after her telling me they don't usually like babies to be on the soya i've had a look and decided that maybe it's not the route to go down as it can cause more trouble than it solves?!
So i thought i'd give colief another go, we tried it before but were just putting the drops in just before feeding as preparing 30 mins before was just impossible.
Now he's older i've decided that maybe making the feeds up in batches may work better. I've read the WHO guidelines for making them up in advance. But i was just wondering for those of you who make up formula, if anyone, how do you go about storing them if going out for the day? Say for example we went to the beach?
I'm so undecided what to do for the best. Do i use the soya milk and run the risk of making him completely intolerant and being unable to wean him back or do i use the colief which reduces the lactose but then have to make the bottles up in advance. Argh decisions!!!
