So I'm a silly mum and gave my 5 mth old milk (in food) - how long?

[ZacsMumme]

T has been having a flare up this last week and I couldn't work out why. ... Go figure, the ONLY jar food I give him has milk solids in it. how did I even not check (baby rice and prunes from 4 mths)

He has only had it for breakfast while my pears ripen up so I can make my own. Had it for about 4/5 days.

So ... Now I know, how long should I expect the reflux symptoms to last?

Sorry no advice but (((hugs))) hon.

[ZacsMumme]

Honestly, what a useless mother I am !

[ENMS]

Of course not Sara!!! We all make mistakes hon... you're doing great, sh!t happens sometimes it doesn't mean you're not a fantastic mom

[ZacsMumme]

So I'm hoping he will be better after 24 hrs Or at least not this bad...

I guess at least I know now he is intolerant for sure still!

[rach321]

Not useless at all! Why would you expect baby rice and prunes to have mk in it! Very easily done and have done it myself more than once!

[Skadiver13]

It can take about a week to 2 to work its way out. Thats my experience anyway fwiw. we've all done it. Hope he's feeling better soon.

[ZacsMumme]

Thanks ladies, nice to know I'm not the only one who's one it

Ugh 1-2 weeks! Our nights have been terrible, I hope they Improve quicker lol x

[Skadiver13]

Sorry, hopefully it's much quicker

[Buntybear]

Sorry for the slip up  really hope it clears his system real quick x

[ZacsMumme]

Do up know what is interesting though. I always thought his head being really sweaty was part of his bodies way of coping with pain - reflux and tummy. Ped disregarded it. Now I know. Last week or so he has been so so sweaty at night. Like dripping off his head. And it's the coolest it has been here in ages.

[Buntybear]

Wow, that is not something I have come across. Interesting.

[ENMS]

Yep, interesting Sara.

[ZacsMumme]

Could be unrelated...could not be. My Dr (not ped) did say at increased sweating is one of the bodies way of coping with pain though.

PLEASE don't feel that way!  it takes a looooong time to get used to reading EVERY label and to not have slipups.  seriously, at this point just take it one meal at a time and pat yourself on the back for getting through another day dairy/soy free!

FWIW, my DS is 2, been dairy/soy/gluten free for almost a year now, and it took me 6 months before i was feeding him "perfectly." and, just yesterday, i told DH to give DS a fruit pouch (squeezable baby food) as a treat and instead gave him big sister's YOGURT pouch.  and the pouch even says YOGURT on the front of it.  so yup, DS had milk yesterday and yup, 4 hours later had horridly soft stool.  my DH is a lawyer - he usually reads everything LOL.  so...sh*t happens.  as long as it is not an anaphylactic or systemic reaction, it WILL be ok and you and DS will move on.
