Suggest treatment for frequent stool and nappy rash
Patient: Hi, my 3 month baby still do frequent small amount of poo and causing nappy rash. It s like every hour or every nappy change something is there.I put her off nappy for plenty time. The nappy rash is always there. I went to the doctor, DD was digonosed by lactose intolorance. Doctor recommend to feed lactose free formula but I did berestfeed and formula together. Now I want to go with brestfeed only but when I stop formula for 12 hr she start frequent poo. I am wandering the cause is lactose intolorence or something else. When can I stop feeding formula? Doctor: Hi...Greetings from Chennai. After going through your question in detail - this is my opinion and this is what I would have done if I were your treating pediatrician.Possibility -1. Cow's milk protein allergy is a strong possibility as there as blood in the stool in exclusively breast fed baby.Suggestions -1. Mother should go off the cow’s milk products completely - including biscuits and chocolates and all products related to milk.2. Continue exclusive breast feeding and if it is not sufficient you can opt for Zerolac.3. Cow's milk protein intolerance in transient as it will go off as the kid grows up.4. Avoid all cow's milk products till the kid is 1 year age.5. Mother's milk is the best for good growth of the baby. Rather than stopping mother's milk, it is best for the mother to avoid all milk products and continue breast feeding.If you have any further queries you can approach me at the following link.You can approach me at the following link.
