Saw a consultant at hospital on Monday who thinks that Laras blood in nappies may be caused by an intolerance to cows milk protein - which means most formulas and possibly breastmilk too [although more diluted as digested so not so problematic] could also be a reason for her slow weight gain...

Lara was seen by a paed consultant at hospital on Monday about the blood in her nappies [been blood on / off now for 8 weeks!] and the consultant thinks it may be cos she is cows milk protein intolerant. aparently when I introduced a formula feed about 8 weeks ago this triggered it off and...

now that the latest advice is to make formula feeds and use immediately or within an hour does everyone actually do this??? What do you all do instead? Make up bottles of water and store them in the fridge and then just add the formula when you need it and heat and use straight away ?? I...

Unfortunately I may have to ease off breastfeeding.. I have terribly sore nipples and quite a bit of pain in my boobs and Lara is not gaining as much weight as she should so it seems she needs some topping up with formula... and when Lara feeds off me she "grazes" - she will be on me for up to...

My mother has this amazing way of making me feel really inadequate - she always has and now that I am a mum myself she just cannot help commenting on everything I do and say with regards to Lara. It is really getting me down and no matter how much I tell her it bothers me and we scream at each...

At around 6 weeks old Lara had blood specs in her nappy when she did a poo.. doc said she had an anal fissure [tearing] which would take 6-8 weeks to heal.. gave us canestan steroid cream to help heal but 7 weeks later the blood is still there every time she fills her nappy and in fact the...

I have to take Lara to see a paediatric and have been given choice of 4 hospitals in and around Nottingham... do I just chose the closest?? How would I know which one is best?? :?

Just curious - how many of you single side breast feed and how many of you swap after aprox 25 minutes? My midwife and health visitor recommend either but I just wonder what works for the experts.. YOU MUMS!! I now do single side feeding as I worried that Lara was not always getting the...

Back to docs this morning and he has given me infant gaviscon for lara - she has begun to regurgitate after every feed and was worried it may be reflux.. anyone else used infant gaviscon for their LO's??? Does it help with this or is it just the doc being quick to prescribe something as so...

Seems you all use various brands.. i have been using aptimil.. any opinions?? Lara only has 1 or 2 formula feeds per day, rest are breast milk and I was told Aptimil is most like breast milk and she seems ok on it but how would I know if any of the others are better or worse...
