My 1 year old daughter is not holding anything down, just switched milk? Need help.?

Question

My daughter is spitting up her milk and she has the runs, but no fever. I had put her on regular milk , from formula about a week ago, does thins mean that her system is not ready for regular milk. This is what I was told, but wouldn't this have happened a week ago. This just started happening last night. I'm taking her into the doctor tomorrow, I just wanted some feedback from some experienced mothers out there.

Answer 1

Are you giving her like a ton of milk? She doesn't need as much milk as she did formula. Personally, I think cow's milk is nasty and that none of us need it. Check out notmilk.com and you'll see what I mean. Nasty stuff.

She would only "need" a couple bottles a day of milk, and not 8 oz at a time. Give her less milk (or none at all) and more water and juices.

Oh, and if she's lactose intolerant now, she will always be. We actually LOSE the ability to digest lactose, it isn't an ability that we acquire as we get older.

Answer 2

I t can be a variety of things including lactose intollerance you will have to see your physician right away though to be sure. Until then switch her back to formula to err on the side of caution. The step from formula to milk should be made gradually start mixing 1/3 homo milk with 2/3 formula and so on so the change isnt to drastic another possiblity is that she may have come down with something you will have to talk with your physician to be sure good luck hope she feels better soon

Answer 3

I tried to switch my son to whole milk after 12 months (he started formula at 4 months) and he had horrible problems with diarrhea. The doctor said it was milk intolerance and would go away.

We switched him back to formula and he was fine. At 18 months, we tried to switch him back again and he didn't have any problems with it.

Aside from the expense, formula actually has a lot more good things in it that whole milk doesn't. After realizing that, I didn't worry so much about the formula and let him proceed at his own pace.

Answer 4

You should wean her slowly from the formula. If she drinks 8oz, start with 6 oz formula and 2 oz reg milk, then 1-2 wks later go to 4oz formula and 4 oz reg milk, then 2 oz formula and 6 oz milk. If within a few weeks you are still having problems she maybe lactose intolerent, and you may have to try soy milk.

Answer 5

she maybe comming into an algeric reaction she maybe lactose intollerent or she may be starting to get a bug. Or yes it could mean that her system is not quite ready yet. there is no real way to tell but i would use lactose intolerent milk and see if that helps and then if it does then that mean she might be algeric to milk. Since you are going to the docs im sure you find your best answer
GOOD LUCK

Answer 6

Are you giving her straight milk??? think about how much water is in the formula you have been giving her. normal milk can be really rich and need watering down, I know thats what I had to do with my daughter when i changed from formula to milk at 12 months old.

Answer 7

It means she may have a milk allergy or lactose intolerant, put her back on the formula tonight & take her to her doctor first thing tommorow!

Answer 8

For your 1 year old daughter you really shouldn't be wasting time asking any of us what we think is wrong with your child, instead you must take your child to the doctor and let him or her examine her. It could be something minor or it can be serious but let them find out what it is and how to remedy it. Don't worry so much, I'm sure she'll be just fine.

Answer 9

maybe it isnt the milk...maybe she is actually sick..dont know...then again she could just be having a allergy to the milk..that is a good thing that you are going to the doctor..he/she can tell you exactly what might be going on
