When my eldest was in althera we ended up having to ask for a thickner for him as it was too watery for him even with a premie sized teat

My daughter started this milk last week due to cmpa and I noticed the same thing her clothes were absolutely soaked. Its definitely normal as its super runny. My daughter has also choked on milk hours later multiple times so today I stopped the milk and went back on her original kendamil organic until I can manage to get a doctors appointment 😖🫠 It also smells horrific😖

My little girl has been on this for a few weeks now, all symptoms have pretty much gone in relation to CMPA however we’ve noticed she’s being sick a lot more, which also stains clothes due to the oiliness of the milk I’m guessing 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m yet to find a remedy that removes the stains !

@Kaya Can I ask how long it took till you. Noticed the milk started working? Also what symptoms did your little girl have. My LO has veryyy bad excema and runny poos straight after feed. And its been just over a week and i’ve not really seen much of an improvement. Let me know thanks x

@Nausheen you probably need to add a thickener. It can take 6-8 weeks for milk proteins to get out of babies system and symptoms to fully improve but you can start to notice after a week or 2. It may not be the right milk (there are a few that contain more hydrolysed milk proteins and then others are amino acid based with no milk proteins) but they are all super thin and will all likely need a thickener. None of them smell great either unfortunately

@Lauryn I am definitely going to ask for some carobel as I really wanted this to work for her. But I have ended up giving her kendamil today as I just didn’t want another choking episode. But thanks x
