hello there,
My 13 month old has just started (about a week ago) having one 2oz portion of moo milk each day. In the last day or two she has started filling her nappy a lot more (maybe 4 times a day) and has developed a bit of a rash around her girl bits. Im wondering of she is having a reaction to the moo milk. Im thinking I will see how it develops over the next couple of days. What do others think? Thank you

Hi, maybe try Metanium cream, you can buy this from the chemist off the shelf. I have never found Sudocreme especially effective with nappy rash but Metanium is very effective. See if the Metanium combats the rash and if not it might be a reaction to the cows milk so go from there. X

Hi, I have a 6 year old who is allergic to cows milk, along with other allergies. One of his symptoms was eczema. Now he doesn't have any as we've cut out cows milk , egg, peanuts, sesame seeds and lentils. But he did have other more severe reactions over time including hives, asthma Stomach upsets. It's so hard to know whether it's just a coincidence or a reaction to food! The best thing we did was get a skin prick test which showed what he is allergic too. Had to fight for it though! We were lucky to have met a lovely nurse and junior doc who were very thorough, and they suggested the test. we discovered his allergies , and finally the consultant at the hospital believed us and he was symptom free within days. What we learned though, when we cut out milk, is to supplement with soya as the proteins the closest, and add Vit D drops. All children are different and there may be no reaction at all, could just be heat rash, just thought would tell you what helped us if it progresses. xx

Milk has been considered as the finest source of calcium. However, there are two big problems with milk - lactose and casein. These are the causes of cramps, bloating, gas and diarrhea.
Lactose intolerance is caused by a lack of a digestive protein called lactase, which is critical for the breakdown of milk sugar (lactose) because of the time we are five, we lost most of the ability to digest lactose. By the time we become an adult, we usually do not have the same capacity to digest milk.
Whether you use breast milk or formula, your baby may have colic and be fussy. These are common problems in all babies. Cow's milk formulas usually do not cause these symptoms, so it may not help if you switch to a different formula.
The question remains unresolved: is it worth giving the baby milk or not. Keep in mind. They are children.
