Will The Intake Of Whole Milk After Breastfeeding Causes Any Effect?
After exclusively breastfeeding my son for 12 months, I have started giving him whole milk (2 sippy cups a day) and I only breastfeed 2x a day now. Since then he has had very foul smelling loose stools (5-6 per day) and urine that smells very foul as well. He has a horrible diaper rash as well, even though I constantly put desitin on him. Are the loose stools common when switching from breast to whole milk? what should I do? Thanks!

Thanks for the query, as you said your child is having foul smelling stool 5-6 per day it might be due to infection. Check consistency, color. If watery , greenish it again piint towarfs infection.
Tell me wheather he is bottle fed or wati spoon fed.
Go for stool routine microscopy also.
Rash in perianal region might be due to lactose intolerence( reducing subs in the stool.)
Try giving probiotics, ors, zinc.
Follow up with report of stool.
Thanks.
