Whole milk = constipation?
« on: March 17, 2010, 03:23:27 am »
Don't know if this thread belong here - so move me as you see fit..

DD's been drinking soymilk mainly, ever since "starting" on something other than breastmilk.. I decided to start mixing in whole milk recently, mostly for the fat content.. Probably something I should've done from the start, perhaps, and just.. didn't.  ANYWAYS - L drinks about 12-15 oz a day, and we've been mixing about 1:1 - soymilk to whole milk.  The last few days she's been a bit constipated - pooping small, hard lumps (sorry - TMI)... Nothing else has changed in her diet - is it possible it's the whole milk?  Anyone else have this experience?

TIA

Hi there, I just said the same thing to DH yesterday, like his poop is adult-like lumps.  It's nicer to clean up mind you lol but I worry that it's the milk causing the constipation.  Finn is still on formula so we started to cut back on the formula and dilute with whole milk, right now we are only doing a 1/3 of the bottle whole milk.  But I am also giving him milk in a sippy for snack times.

No he's not complaining either, it's just weird to see his poop like that.  It's the only thing different in his diet.  Well he's on antibiotics but the paed said they would cause diarrhea so it can't be them.
