Jackson had a chronic stuffy nose for the first 4 months of his life. All of a sudden, one day I noticed that it had cleared up, completely! :blob2:
So, yesterday I bought him some "Biter Biscuits" and gave him one. He LOVED them. As I gave it to him I read the ing. "Whey, whole milk powder, "
Hmm... well he didn't react at all, so I thought that maybe it was all just the reflux.
This morning he woke up w/a stuffy nose.:banghead: That is the only sign right now. Grrr..... could this be the first sign of a milk allergy?????

The lactose I think I have ruled out, at least in his solutabs, he has been taking them for two days now and so far he is fine.
Help!

I don't know. It is definately possible! Hope someone else will be able to help you out more. Parker gets a runny nose when he teethes or has reflux! I am still working out the allergies- help!

I am not sure if he would react that quickly? But then again...I don't have allergy problems with my kiddos, so I am not quite sure!!

I hope you get it all figured out soon...It must be so aggravating to keep going back and forth!!!

It is Stacy, and you all are probably sick of me asking these crazy questions as well!!! LOL
I know that my husband thinks that i "think" too much w/him. Just leave him be, he tells me.:boxing:

I'm not sure. I guess it could be...

I have to say that Eric's stuffiness and congestion miraculously went away several times, and just came back the same way it left. I don't think his diet had anything to do with it. It was just a random thing. Even when he was on just formula without any changes it would happen, and then back to stuffy again.

It's definately worth keeping track of though. I kept a journal for a while, and wish I had added the stuffiness to it along with all the other things I kept track of.
You might notice a pattern or something if you keep track from now on.
I noticed that Eric's breathing improved a lot when I took him off whole milk. I don't think allergy. He does WAY better on 2% and he would be just as bad with any milk product if it were an allergy.

Another thing to consider is the wheat in the biter bisciuts.

Like I said just start keeping track of the foods and the stuffiness and see if there's any connection.

Thanks Minnie, I will definetly do that!
I never thought about the wheat!

Maybe it's just a stuffy nose ...

Could be Lesley, I am usually looking for some other underlying reason, but the easy, just a cold! LOL

LOL
Lesley!
I guess this post WAS classic reflux Mom "read to far into everything, so I can make my baby better".

Yeah, um Emily
It could just be a stuffy nose.
:)

Hee hee!!! LOL Oh well, always trying to find the problem that I can fix quickly! :wink:
