My son is now 5 months old. He is suffering in loose motion with blood. I consult with a doctor. He said me that my son have a big infection in his belly. He suggest me some medicine. After 10 days, it s also run but blood is not now. What can i do to stop his problem?
Hi, I went through the history points you have provided - I was expecting that there should have been a history of cows milk and formula feed (this too contains cows milk protein) given to the baby. I feel that your baby is having cows milk protein allergy. Unusually babies grow out of this sort of allergy by 1 year of age.  My suggestions for you - 1. Mother should go off cows milk protein completely. This means that you should avoid consumption of anything and everything related to cows milk - like - milk/ curds/ ghee/ butter milk/ chocolates/ biscuits/ ice creams etc. Even while buying commercial food products, you need to see the ingredients and if they contain milk - do not consume them.2. Feed you baby only exclusive breastfeeds till 6 months of age and then start rice based feeds. 3. If this is followed scrupulously - the baby will stop having diarrhea in another 3-4 days and then start gaining weight too.4. If you feel your feeds alone are inadequate for the baby, then Zero lac is the only option till 6 months age.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
