Lactose free formula
My LO is 5months and has been practically breastfeeding the whole time. I was told he had 'colic' from 2 weeks old. This 'colic' did start to get better, however recently between the hours of 3am & 8am he's been in a lot of discomfort again. He started to become fussy on the boob so I did introduce 2 bottles of Kendalmil into our day, however nothing seems to settle him.
I took him to the doctor's on Friday to which he's advised my LO to go Lactose free formula and myself to go diary free.
Since doing this...my LO is worse in the night!! I do believe he is now constipated because of this formula...has anyone else experienced this?

@Kendra Oh my days, what a lovely message. Thank you! I needed to read this right now. Xx
I have a similar experience. We did not use formula so i have been dairy free and try my best to pump my milk that has little to no dairy. My GI told me that to eliminate dairy from bm might take 2 weeks. But some article said it might take 48 hours to reduced the dairy element from your body. So in the meantime, if you want to try, you can give prune or pear juice to help with constipation.
