Re the cows milk Georgi - yes if you have made the switch cold turkey it certainly can give them the runs. It doesn't mean he has an intolerance, just that his system needs to get used to it. Zander has been on 50 - 100mls a day - but he doesnt need anymore really cos he is still b/f morning and night. He doesn't have any runnier nappies - but he has also been on anti's which gave him a bit more looser than normal. Why dont you try getting his calcium other ways?? The literature guides us with 600mls of milk per day - but this can be given in whatever form such as yoghurts, cheese, high calcium vegies etc - so realistically you could reduce the milk intake to 400mls a day pretty easily with this.
Anyway, something to play around with.
Z is still terrible overnight - I mean literally screaming and not settling into sleep at all with terrible cough - 6 nights now - we are still surviving on only 2 - 3 hours sleep per night which is just not fathomable, taking him back to the doctors today for another check cos his breath now stinks. So, I had to weigh up if better for me to go to work and be unproductive, or take a personal day - and I have opted for the latter as I think that is fairer to everyone. My job involves some reading and writing papers at the moment and no way I could conentrate and quality would be crap! He had slept a week through the night before this so I dont think it is a habit - and he wont sleep in our bed, and is still screaming in our arms - so I definitely think it is illness v behavioural. But I have no idea and it is ripping me inside out. I think I will get a private person to come in once he is better to help me resettle him again into his night time routine - Tanya/Moi - where did you find yours that you used with Maya?
