Hi,
I used to breastfeed my 7 month old child but 1-1/2 month before i started giving her enfamil just once in the morning 2 oz.It didnt suit her and now since past 5 days i am giving her nestle' s good start supreme(once morning and once evening-2 oz each).She is also on a solid diet(2 times a day).Now my prob is last since last 2 days she poops a li' l bit at/after every feeding(solids,milk).Also her motions are tight sometimes and bit sticky or loose sometimes.it changes color as well.She has developed lil rashes at bottom since today morning.I can' t understand where i might have gone wrong.Is it that i changed formula and it' s not suiting her?Is it that i m feeding(solids) to her that she is not able to digest OR is she overeating her age ? God knows where i m wrong.But pls smbdy pls guide me. Monica Goyal replied. Dear Pallavi,

My son used to paas motion after every feed when he was 5 month old.Even me & his paediatrician took it lightly but all off a sudden he had severe diarrhea and I had to continue feeding him with his old formula milk coz he was too young to digest any solid food.After 2 diarrhoeal episodes which were treated with antibiotics,hhis diarrhea became so severe that he had to b admitted in a hospital due to excessive dehydration.He is now 9.5 month old bt nt able to digest Lactogen/whole milk.I am still feeding him with Lactose free soya formula coz frequent diarrhea or chronic diarrhea leads to Lactose Intolrance in infants.I dnt want to scare you bt I m sharing my exp with you coz I dnt want any other baby to suffer like mine.He spent 21 days in hospital.Hes doing well now coz I have taken him to a homeopathy Dr and giving him Lactose free formula.Pls discuss this with his Dr. immediately coz My son also used to paas hard motions after every feed bt gradually it lead to Diarrhoea.


Pls take an appointment with his Dr asap.God blees ur baby

Yeah..rashes are due to acidic poop.It also indicates that his stomach is upset.My son also suffers from very bad rashes in fact sumtimes rashes develop on his front side ,ie,his penis and inner thighs.My Dr has advised me to apply Candid & Derma shield alternatively actually Candid is basically contains steroid which makes skin very Dry & derma shield contains Aloe Vera which soothes it and Sonia only told me to apply lot of powder on his bottom so that it doesn’t get clean and Coconut Oil/ Ghee didn’t do anything in his case

sonia replied. Hi..babies do pass hard stools when start with solids...just make sure to give him more water...if possible give lil warm water in the morning....instead of trying all these things don ot expect that poops will be normal...ther will be lil hard...for the bottom apply any cream (I used Foredum..u can ask to ur doctor) but the main thing is that after applying cream just put lots of powder..this is one thing someone told me and it helped a lot for my son cz without the powder the cream gets clean with cloth and then it is not affected...u can apply coconut cream also...
Hope it will help lil bit
