Maree, I know exactly how you feel!! Joey had blood in his poos and fell unconcious for over 1/2 an hour on the way to hospital at 8 weeks. He too was diagnosed with a milk protein intolerance and used to poo blood and vomit blood. The ride to the hospital was the most scared I have ever been in my life!!

He is now 14 months (almost) and has well and truly grown out of his intolerance (YAY!!) I breast fed him up until he was a year old and was dairy free the whole time to keep it out of his system. I found even bread with milk would set him off... so I hope you don't have as many problems as we did but get used to reading labels!

Check out www.mfd.co.nz for lists of dairy free/milk free foods!

If you need any help or support just let me know

Thanks everyone for the support. The shell shock is starting to go away now as we have settled back into the feeding, sleeping, pooing, feeding, sleeping, pooing newborn routine. Connor has perked right back up and is back to his nipple shredding ways.
I've sent the hubby out to stock up on almonds and am cutting dairy out of my diet too (*sob* farewell cocopops and picnic bars) until we can be certain that the stuff that goes through my system isn't upsetting his. ]]> Fri, 06 Oct 2006 10:35:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3971&PID=76474&title=connors-ambulance-ride#76474 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3971&PID=76443&title=connors-ambulance-ride#76443 Author: daikini

That is really scary Maree. You and hubby did really well by the sounds. Glad they were able to tell you what was wrong and he is ok now. Does that mean you have to avoid milk proteins as well? If you do, get a referral to see a dietician. Fingers crossed that your milk supply keeps up. ]]> Thu, 05 Oct 2006 21:20:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3971&PID=76386&title=connors-ambulance-ride#76386 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3971&PID=76381&title=connors-ambulance-ride#76381 Author: my2angels

Works with me (not that I had a supply problem)...but I did notice how it changed in thickness.....worth a try right!!]]> Thu, 05 Oct 2006 14:09:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3971&PID=76282&title=connors-ambulance-ride#76282 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3971&PID=76279&title=connors-ambulance-ride#76279 Author: 11111

ARGH! By kiddie number three you'd think that we'd be almost ready for anything, but yesterday at 1.30pm Connor brought up fresh blood after a feed. We took him to see our Dr (after phoning the hospital for advice) and she said it was probably from my breast and not to worry too much, but since I had been having Voltaren for after pains it could be a reaction to that passed through the milk. To play it safe (and to give my nipples a chance to heal from the battering they had received) we decided to feed Connor infant formula for 24 hours while I used the breast pump to keep supply up. So, 4pm feed time comes along and Connor takes 15 - 20mls of formula before going as white as a sheet, passing out and not responding. I undressed him, rubbed him, pinched his foot where the heel prick test was, waved his arms around and nothing. AARRGH!!!! Hubby was onto 111 straight away and an ambulance was sent out. Luckily they were here within 5 minutes as Connor was just starting to 'pink up' again, but still not all that responsive. His first cry was in the back of the ambulance on the way to Starship (the BEST sound I've ever heard) and after an hour he was back to his squirming 4 day old self. After tests and specialists, it seems that Connor is alergic to milk proteins found in formula. Starship have told us to avoid all formula (cows, goat and soy) as that kind of reaction would probably occur with all of them and a second reaction is usually worse than the first. We've been referred to the immunology specialist to try and sort out what the heck happened and I've been told to keep the breastfeeding - any blood from the nipples will just be extra iron for him! Since I had supply issues with Andrew and couldn't breast feed him for long, I now have every potion, pill and supplement available on hand to keep the supply up. If supply plays up we have to go back to Starship for them to work out what to do. Needless to say, Nick and I are taking turns watching him while he sleeps. ]]> Thu, 05 Oct 2006 13:59:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3971&PID=76277&title=connors-ambulance-ride#76277
