DCB 12 months was taken off of formula during Christmas break. A little back story. When he was 11 months, Mom and Dad wanted to slowly transition him to whole milk. Immediately I noticed issues; runny diapers, sore bottom, extra fussy, dry patches on his face, runny nose. I mentioned it to Mom and guess what..."he's teething"! I use to use that myself when I thought it was valid, but after 5 years of this, I hate that phrase!!! After 2 weeks of dealing with it, they came one day and said "We think he's allergic to the milk"...You think??? They took him off the milk and everything gradually cleared up and he was a happy little guy again. Fast forward to Christmas break, 12.5 months old, after talking with his Dr. they decided to gradually try milk again. She said he didn't do well again, I'm not sure of the actual symptoms since I was off. When they returned this Tuesday they brought V-8 juice and said to give that when I would have gave milk. They did say to "top it off" with water because it's pretty thick. Then Wednesday they brought apple juice also. So I gave him V-8 at breakfast and lunch and apple juice (I watered it down) for snack. Yesterday I only gave V-8 and water because he had some left over from lunch so he finished it off at snack. He has been super grumpy again, not napping well, and guess what...he's teething
This morning within 1/2 hour of being here, he had a total blow out up to his hair, all over the carpet, toys, etc. and he's super grumpy. I'm about to call for pick up. So I guess my question is, have you ever heard of someone substituting V-8 for milk? This family is super sweet but kind of clueless. This little guy is miserable, but of course "he's teething"!
