Baby digestion

Bad stools

Hi. My baby boy is 9 mlnths old, he has a CMPA and he is on Aptamil Pepti 2 formula. He has been using Aptamil Pepti for about 5 months now. But now for about a week and half he has started doing really bad poos. He goes almost immediately (sometimes 20 minutes but most of the times 5 minutes or less) after every meal or bottle and it is very very dark green (sometimes almost black) and mucusy and loose. Basicly 5 to 6 very bad stools a day... I am gonna call GP Monday but I was wondering if someone elses baby did go through something simillar what it might be? And is it possible that his CMPA got worse and he is not able to tolerate Aptamil Pepti anymore as even that one has a cow milk protein only extensively hydrolized so most babies tolerate it. Or is it something else or worse... I attached the photo, just to know how it is. Sorry about that.😊

Cows milk allergy? Picture in comments

Hello, any advice appreciated. My 9 month old is breastfed, never had a problem. Since weaning she gets a rash round her mouth when eating dairy products. No other symptoms. I am currently trying to wean her off breast milk with formula. She’s having 1-2 bottles of formula right now. She isn’t well right now anyway, cold, congestion etc. so this may be related to that. But she has woke up with awful poo. She has been very gassy since formula too. She doesn’t seem in any discomfort. No rash when having the milk. But when I’ve looked online at baby’s poo with cmpa I’d say hers look kind of similar. Her poos are never usually like this, firm but soft since eating. So this is very unusual for her.

New any advice?

So yesterday I found out my 3 week baby had cows milk allergy… wasn’t given really any information on what to do or help his symptoms so just reaching out for any advice. I’m currently combination feeding breast and formula due to the lack of breastmilk supply for little one. My son’s bum almost looks like it’s blistering and I’ve been told there’s nothing that can be done? Is this true? Not sure on any meals I can eat that are good alternatives to dairy. Non of my family have any allergies so this is all very new to me, and my first born didn’t have any issues so any advice, recipes or help is much appreciated! X

SMA Althéra

Hi, I have taken my 12 week old to the doctor yesterday for suspected cmpa (symptoms are runny nose/ congested, occasionally wheezing, frequent sneezing, flaky skin near eyebrows, baby acne like rash on cheeks, mucus and sometime bloody poos and lots of wind). I have bought some SMA Althera and have started it today, as per the doctors instructions (whilst she discusses with the dietician team and pharmacy on how to help). However, since being on the Althera (4 bottles worth so far) she has been non stop crying with sore tummy. She refuses the feed until she is very tried and then has a dream feed which is less than usual so I know she is hungry too. I was wondering if anyone has any similar experiences and can offer any advice? She seems so much more unhappy on this milk than she ever did with the cow and gate formula. Despite having the mucus poos etc, she would never really cry because of tummy pain and enjoyed the milk.

Anyone else?

My girl has cma just found out at 6 weeks however now we have swapped her milk to Aptamil pepti 1 she is bringing back up at least an ounce a time. She never used to do this? Is this because it’s new or do I need to change the brand completely?
