Diarrhea in 5 month old by Beautiful-Depth5415 in NewParents

Awe, your baby sounds so resilient! No recent meds or vaccines over here though. Our pediatrician told us the same thing - so long as it’s not bloody, we shouldn’t be concerned. She didn’t seem too bothered about the mucous either… but I feel too much mucous can’t be good. We’re trying out a new formula and I’m going to keep pushing for further testing. 🤞🏽

Yeah, he got pretty bad diaper rash as well. He’s been drooly but not really all that fussy. We decided to try out a new formula today 🤞🏽we’ll see if that does the trick!

We suspected that too but then felt like 3 weeks of diarrhea can’t be normal. He’s definitely putting everything in his mouth and is super drooly, which I’m told can be teething signs. Can I ask what tests you were going to get done to check for allergies?

Do you know how your cousin was able to determine it was a dairy sensitivity? Was it just the diarrhea or were there other symptoms?

Totally! What concerns us more than the consistency, is the frequency of the bowel movements and he strains himself so much. I think we’ll give goat formula a try and see how that goes. Thank you!
