puking on whole milk

[angelsnight]

I just started LO on whole milk today (she turned one last week) and after she had been sleeping for about an hour so woke up puking.  I know it's too soon to assume anything, but just wondering others' experience with switching.  Does it take some time for their tummies to get used to the switch?  She was also farting up a storm when I was cleaning her up, which isn't the norm for her.

Do I keep giving it to her and see how it goes?  Give her less and work up to the 16oz a day her pedi recommended?

My lo did this a little as well although I wouldn't call it puking more spitting up. Also the increased gas but now she seems fine after a few weeks on it.

Did you try mixing it with her formula/bm at all? Our pedi suggested to mix it, and it seemed to work for my LO.

No, our pedi said we didn't need to, and I don't have any more formula on hand.  But if it continues I will try that, thanks.

I think this was definitely puking since there was a lot of it, and there were chunks from dinner.  But maybe it just seemed worse since she had some of our dinner tonight (she normally eats baby food or just a formula bottle for dinner) so there were chunks, ewww.

That definitely sounds like puking. It could be the milk, it could be the food, it could be a coincidence. Babies are hard.

I'd personally take her off the milk for a day or two and see if it resolves. Some kids take to it easier than others.

This. 

Also, not sure where you are, but where I live there has been a stomach flu/bug going around for a few months. I know many families who have had pukey LOs so it could be coincidence. 

There was some talk in the WCM thread about puking too a few days back. 

If I were you I'd back off for a few days, then re-introduce in very small amounts until you're sure it's not the WCM. 

Good luck - sorry you're LO is sick!

This did happen with my LO one night. He puked in his crib and had some dinner in it as well. We had just started him on WCM. I just watched him to see if he seemed sick or did puke again. It ended up being a 1 time occurrence and he continued to drink WCM afterwards. He does get gassy but also he is using his sippy cups also alot more the his Dr. Brown bottles. We just do some leg excercises to work out the gas.

What I have heard is to stop the wcm until lo is back to normal them add it back in. Make sure to only give lo things you know they can tolerate. If it happens again try one more time. If it happens all 3 times you know it is the wcm.
good luck. Puking is the worst

Well I did give her WCM again today and so far so good. Let's hope it stays down!
