Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Are you kidding me? Alimentum question

So after weeks of mucousy diarrhea and painful gas on Alimentum with oatmeal cereal added we eliminated the oatmeal from the equation. I really am now thinking that the problem this whole time was with the oatmeal and maybe NOT a MSPI. DS is now constipated, he has little pebbles. Is anyones LO constipated on Alimentum? I could scream.

  • DD has only been on Alimentum for 3 days now, but it has been very very runny.. I can only tell ya I understand the frustration and feel your pain.. Hope it gets better for ya

  • Sorry, my LO was constipated on every other formula besides Alimentum, it has been his saving grace.

    Have you talked to your pedi?

  • Sometimes when you take things out of the equation, it affects the poop.

    If you are worried about issues with GI and allergies, I would stop feeding food. Those are my 2 cents...but I don't know your baby of course, just the things you have said on here :(.

    we are taking DD to an allergist on Thurs. to see if there are any allergies before we start feeding her. I am hoping they may find intolerances, but that does not sound like a possibility, seeing as they are allergists and not GIs. :)

  • We called on Friday about the gas issue and that is when she said to stop the oatmeal. I just called again. I feel like such a pain to keep calling.
  • June, don't feel like that! They get paid good money to deal with our questions.. You're the advocate for your lo
  • Kim - I know I shouldn't feel that way but they know DS by name there. LOL.

    They called back and said to try 1 oz of Pedialyte to 1 oz of prune juice. DH is going to pick up some prune juice on his way home later.
