Toddler With Milk Problems

My daughter is almost 15 months old. She has been off of formula for a few months. I have switched her to 2% milk, and she seemed ok for a while but now she throws up curdled milk every morning(very chunky) sorry for being so graphic!

It smells awful, her stools also smell awful but are very hard, sometimes like little tiny pellets but a lot of them.

Every thing that I have read about milk allergies talks about diarrhea not constipation and lactose intolerant says hives and vomiting etc.

I have noticed her cheeks have been very red lately and she does have thrush. Should I give her some kind of lactose free milk?

Or stay away completely if so what should I give her? She loves her bottle at bedtime and even sleeps with it next to her.

She always has some milk, go's to bed and then throws up on the way to daycare in the morning.

Just frustrated and any help would be appreciated!!!

Milk Allergy
by: Rose

It could be and sounds as if your toddler may have a milk allergy, all three of mine had the same issues, I had to give them lactaid milk, as even soy milk would not work for them. The hard white stools is an indication that he or she is not digesting his or her milk properly. I would try soy milk for a few days, if you do not see an improvement in a week to two weeks then switch to lactaid milk. Lactaid milk has the hard to digest milk protein removed from it. I had to have all three of mine on this for a year, after which I was able to move to soy milk for a year and have just now at age 4 gotten them to where they can digest 1% milk. As always consult your dr before making any changes.

Soy Milk
by: Anonymous

My grand-daughter could not digest infant milk of any type, her tummy would get huge and wouldn't have bowel movement for awhile - when she did it was hard. So, after trying different infant formulas at 8 months, we switch to soy milk and she has done well with the milk. The doctors have asked us to switch to fresh milk - we tried and she went back to having the same problem. Therefore, we stayed with soy milk and she is now two an half.
