As of Friday (4 days ago), my son is 100% off of breastmilk and drinking whole milk. He has about 3-4 oz for nap time, a sippy of milk to drink on throughout the day, and then his bedtime milk about 5 oz. We have never had issues with his belly or digestion. He would poop 1-2 times a day, no constipation, not food sensitivities. Since Friday he has been struggling. He didn’t poop Friday or Saturday. All day Saturday he tried and tried to go but he would scream and cry from being constipated every time he tried. By Sunday I gave in and gave him a teaspoon of Karo syrup in his milk. Thankfully he was able to poop a little bit.

Monday he goes seriously 5 times in one day. By the end of the day he is crying every time he pooped because he developed a Terrible rash on his bottom. Tuesday, same thing, he poops 5 times and his bottom is STILL so raw he won’t hardly let me wipe him. I’ve been letting him dry out and then applying the cream but it’s not seeming to help.

Is the milk causing all of these issues? We slowly transitioned for about a month working to half and half bottles with Breastmilk for about 2 weeks before he switched to straight milk. What else can I do for him??
