just saw it on a different Reddit thread:

”When cow’s milk protein formula has been introduced in an infant’s diet, make sure that regular ingestion (as little as 10 mL daily) is maintained to prevent loss of tolerance.”

Am I reading this correctly? My daughter was in nicu and had milk protein formula like 3 times and then we switched to ebf. Could that have caused her intolerance? Or am I misunderstanding? No one mentioned any of this to me in the US.

based on this, wouldn’t eating more dairy actually help to prevent intolerance? does it mean that breast milk has too few and too many proteins at the same time if the baby has a reaction to the breast milk?

I have an almost 4 month old who had blood in her poop from 10 days old till 3 month old almost every day. I went dairy, soy, wheat/gluten, egg, corn, peanuts, rice, fish and tree nuts free in order to identify the root cause.

She has been mostly blood free for a few weeks (except for occasional spec here and there and I understand she still might have hidden blood) but she still has green/mucous-y poops most or the time.

I do suspect oats may be causing it and I could eliminate them for a week but at this point should I do it? I tried reintroducing gluten last week too and it didn’t seem to cause blood as well but now I’m thinking did I go back too early? should I have waited for yellow seedy stools? Otherwise she barely has any symptoms except some days she spits up a bit more than usual but nothing crazy.

let me know what you would do in my situation or what your experience in a similar situation may have been.

thank you!
