Hi ladies

I've been reading about all the issues to do with diary and lactose intolerance and I read an interesting article on the ABA website about it. There is also something can't remember the name that is similar to this and had similar symptoms but has more to do with the amount of fat they are getting from your milk when breastfeeding and block feeding is recommended. I also read from the same site that cutting out all diary doesn't do much as not that much gets into your milk.

Worth a read if you can find them just search for lactose intolerance on their website

AFI had a great sleep last night two blocks of 5 hours and 4 hours

Hi ladies

Terry, that's lactose overload. It's a possible issue with Heath. Since I've been block feeding his poos are mainly mustard & not green.

It takes about 15 days for dairy to get out of your system. I'm on day 10 now. There has been a little improvement in the crying but nothing major(possibly because Heath is very sensitive). His bum rash has pretty much disappeared which is great.

Those thinking your bubs may have lactose overload, speak to your lactation consultant.

We just got our lacteeze drops today & have IDE them with 2 feeds. They are lactase drops that breaks done the lactose in the milk - you have lactase in your intestines to do this but some bulb as haven't developed it.

Shadow 77 - my paediatrician said it usually eases up around 3 - 4 months so can try dairy again. I bought those biscuits too! And dairy free pancake mix. Heaths the same with the chocolate though. I've been reading up & you can replace milk in recipes with other things like apple sauce & other things! Lucky we've been using nuttelex for years - one less thing I had to change! The oat milk is ok. I have rice milk in the fridge to try.


DDB & Chrispe - thanks.

Jessiebean - you can get the ticker from lilypie - it should come up right away when you google it.

I was telling dh today that I'm just sick of people looking at me with pity on the odd occasion I go out with Heath(I find myself staying home unless I have to because of all the screaming).

I think the block feeding is messing with my supply a bit so I'm slowly shortening the time I use only one boob(I started with 4hrs. Now I'm going 2-3hrs on the one side & expressing a bit more. Hopefully it will pick up in a couple of days.

Ok, I'm off! Hoping we here from the mother & baby unit soon. No doubt we'll end up in there on the week of my daughters 4th birthday or my girls dancing concert.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend
