Here we will inlcude some information about what to do when your baby has diarrhoea.

There are a number of different allergies and intolerances where babies can suffer symptoms including diarrhoea, asthma, eczema, vomiting, bloating and wind, for example including cows' milk allergy, cows' milk protein intolerance and lactose intolerance.

Milk allergy and cows' milk protein intolerance are common in babies and children. Symptoms start from the time cows' milk is introduced into the diet. Many children with these conditions will grow out of them when they get older.

If you think your baby is intolerant to cows' milk and dairy products it's important to consult your GP, who will be able to refer you to a specialist for a proper diagnosis and nutritional advice: milk and dairy products are good sources of nutrients such as calcium, so you shouldn't cut them out of your baby's diet without medical advice.

If your baby is diagnosed with a cows' milk allergy and you are not breastfeeding, your GP might prescribe hydrolysed milk formula. You shouldn't give her partially hydrolysed formula or soya formula without consulting your GP, because babies with cows' milk allergy might react to these types of formula.
