Laura McKechnie replied to Michelle Jasper's discussion is my dairy free baby getting enough calcium?"Hi Michelle,
Are you under the care of a dietician at all? I was a bit worried that my son (16 months) wasn't getting enough calcium / vitamins etc as he was always ill so spoke to our dietician. I emailed her a list of…"

Hi all, I've got 8 unopened tins of Nutramigen Lipl 2 - if anyone wants them, I'm happy to give them to you - you'll just need to pay for the postage that's all. (or you can pick them up if you live round the somerset area!) It's partially hydrolysed rather than amino acid based, but a good starting point for a lot of LO's who are cows milk protein intolerant. Was just going to ditch them as I don't have the space to store them anymore but thought I would check here first. Hope everyones…See More
Laura McKechnie replied to Jenny B's discussion Meal ideas for intolerant babies"Two main meals spring to mind:
1) Cottage Pie - lamb and courgette with mashed potato topping (i use vitalite to make the mash creamy)
2) Spaghetti Bolognaise - lamb mince with butternut squash sauce. I fry the mince then add chunks of…"
Laura McKechnie replied to Jenny B's discussion Next step?"We were initially given ranitidine then omperazole too when my LO was very young and like yourself found it made no difference. The screaming, lack of sleep and refusing to feed still continued.
The switch to nutramigen and then neocate…"
Laura McKechnie replied to Sara C's discussion Not liking Omeprazole!"My son will not take the MUPs in a syringe. He is wise to it, will take the lot in his mouth and spit it straight back at you - nice!
I now dissolve the mups in a little bit of water add pear puree and he feeds himself it. Less stress…"
Laura McKechnie replied to Jenny B's discussion Anti histamine - side effects?"We use it long term without any problems. Hopefully the sticking the tongue is just developemntal as Jenny says. Enjoy the sleep and I hope things continue to improve.x"
Laura McKechnie replied to Jenny B's discussion Piritan dose"I was told by the paediatricain to give 2.5ml of Piriton solution once a day if there under one. We used to give it at night as it has sedating properties!
Hope this helps.x"
Laura McKechnie replied to Jenny B's discussion Piriton-good?"We give Seb piriton twice a day every day. I wasn't sure at first whether it made much of a diference but had to stop a while back when he had croup and couldn't give it with some of his other medication.
It took a while before I…"
Laura McKechnie replied to Verity's discussion Appointment with dr shah"Hi, Seb's nearly 15 months. On neocate, omeprazole and chlorophenamine maleate. We treid Montelukast too, but he was up screaming and sweating all night, so quickly stopped that one. He sleeps better now, provided we…"
Laura McKechnie replied to Verity's discussion Appointment with dr shah"So glad your appointment went well with Dr Shah and you finally feel you are being supported. I hope the nalcrom and ketotifen work for Finley and it means he can eat more foods.
I've always thought that my LO is a bit similar to…"
Jenny B replied to Laura McKechnie's discussion How long does a reaction last?"My LO's reactions last for days, but most start a few hours to a day after the offending food has been eaten. I stick to his safe foods for a few days after a reaction, and then introduce one new food for 4 days. I'm having to tread very…"
Laura McKechnie replied to Anita Stewart's discussion Will it ever get better ???????"Big Hugs. I've just posted a similar story about projectile vomitting and diarrohea so know where you're coming from. It is hard to deal with and work at the same time.
Fingers crossed for a better night for you all tonight, and hope…"
Beverley replied to Laura McKechnie's discussion How long does a reaction last?"A bad reaction can take a while to settle. It totally varies. Not very helpful I know. Certainly could still be affecting him.
Re. food, we've mostly given up but we have a diagnosis and are under a gastro consultant who has kind of made us…"

Seb is 15 months and currently MEWS free and on a limited diet of 10 foods. Tried him on porridge oats about 3 weeks ago but he got very ill and ended up with Croup - which the doctors said was totally unrelated.So decided to try him on oats again this weekend (Saturday morning). He was really unsettled and on his evening bottle he threw up continuously for 2 minutes. He's since had really bad nappies and has thrown up (as in seriously projectile vomiting) every evening bottle since. I…See More
Laura McKechnie replied to amanda's discussion An update !"Glad the appointment went well and your finally getting the answers you've been looking for.
With regard to the mups. I dissolve them in a little bit of water (cutting them in half helps them dissolve easier). Then add some pear…"
