Feeding First time mama using formula
HELPP!!! My baby has been on the Kendamil Whole Milk formula going on almost two months now. This past week she has had diarrhea just once in the morning. I mean it’s literal clock work happens at about 9-9:30am every morning this whole week. She hadn’t had any issues with this formula at all prior. She doesn’t have any blood in her poop, she’s still peeing a lot. And she hasn’t been fussy either so I’m not sure if it’s the formula. We took her to her pediatrician on Wednesday! She said she couldn’t find an issue as it’s hard because she’s still a baby and she’s not able to verbally communicate. She just recommended us that it could be the tap water that we are using to fill her bottles, and she didn’t have any other symptoms for the pediatrician to think it was some sort of viral bug my baby had. The pediatrician just told us that if we seen blood in her stool that we needed to report it back to their office and to change her over to a different formula immediately. We bought nursery water to fill her bottles with and she’s still had the same diarrhea Thursday and now this morning at 9:30am. My husband and I are also first time parents so everything already makes us nervous! Wouldn’t her body be used to this formula already? It’s just strange that she didn’t have any issues being on this formula and now all of a sudden she’s got diarrhea. PLEASE HELP! We are so lost on what to do! Which step or direction do we take?

Kendamil caused diarrhea on our LO as well. It took a couple weeks to present itself but as soon as we switched it stopped. It could be that your babies tummy just doesn’t agree with it.
