breastfeeding and give Nutra----- formula in its place for the above problem?
Infant asymptomatic and hemoglobin normal. Go figure. Mom did say "It
worked. No more blood." She did stop all dairy products in her diet prior
to formula, but blood streaks continued."
Finding an underlying cause can be a lot of work--giving AIM is easy. Most of the time when moms say they have removed all cow milk products, they actually have not done so and often not for long enough either. Most moms do not realize they have to eliminate all ingredients as well.
