I am wondering if my little 1yo has an intolerance to cows milk. I was really silly and gave him a whole bottle (200ml) of cows milk the first time he tried it instead of introducing it slowly. I guess I thought because he was by that time on Toddler Formula and tolerating it well that it wouldn't be too different. And I have given him sips of cows milk during the day (formula at night) since that first time.
Hindsight is a beautiful thing. He is getting diarrhoea and so I've decided to cut out not just cows milk but yoghurt as well and custard etc. and give his body a few days to recover and then reintroduce cows milk slowly to see if he can tolerate it again. Will be such a pain if he can't! Does anyone else have any experience with diarrhoea in reaction to cows milk and if so - have they tolerated it since by re-introducing slowly or will I have to wait till he grows out of it do you think? |

| it could be lactose intolerance. you could try him on the lactose free milk that you get from the supermarket to see if that makees a difference |

Could just be that he got waaay too much at once (which you already know) and once his body has returned to normal he might tolerate it fine
