Back on Pepti Junior

[Anonymous]

Hi all, I thought I would share the results of my science experiment.

Alana started on Zantac and Pepti Junior (like allimentum) at the same time. Thus we could never work out whether it was reflux, milk protein intolerance or both. She was better but not right so we added the PPI. This controled the reflux very nicely. So, because she is my little science experiment (LOL) we thought we would try switching her to a normal formula and see if she really was milk intolerant (really because the runny green poos were bloody awful and because if she wasn’t milk intolerant solids would be easier for all of us).

So after two weeks on normal formula she had the following

-starting to become unsettled at night (she usually sleeps through)

-increased mucous in stools- until they were just mucousy mucous and I am sure some of you could smell them from the US

-more spit up and being slightly more bothered by it

-more nasal congestion

This all started to get a little worse as time went on-ie as the proteins built up in her system.

So what do you think- milk intolerant.

So, she is back on pepti junior- and after one feed she slept through the night again like a baby. It wasn’t until I put her back on it that I realised how far backward she had gone on the normal milk based formula.

Just thought I would share for all you other mums who have started on two things and are not sure what has worked and what hasn’t.
