My 13 mo is definitely teething at the moment. Could this be the reason for the increase in her dirty nappies or could it be something I'm feeding her? I'm totally confused about food allergies vs food intolerances but don't even want to go there if it could just be down to teething...

Thanks Ladies. I think it's just coincidental that at 13 months, I'm also trying to expand on her menu. Exciting times! But I do think it's the teething. Wickedangel - don't stress that your DS only has 4 teeth. A friend's LO only had 1 at 1 year! If I look at my LO at the moment, she seems to be getting 3 at the same time. They're all different. How did the switch off formula go? Did you start with half and half or just cold turkey? I need to do it too but am undecided between cow's milk (easier for us) and goat's milk (apparently easier to digest). Are you giving the toddler's milk at night to fill the tum? Thanks hun, I'm not worried about his teeth, he had his 1st tooth one week after his 1st birthday, but he's off his food because of teething non stop. I introduced cow milk at 11.5 months by mixing it with his formula at 1st, then I started reducing the amount slowly until he started to take cow milk only. You can try by offering her 1 oz without mixing & see how she takes it, if she's fine with the taste, you can start by replacing one feed at a time until she's fully weaned off formula. Offer cow milk at the same temperature she takes her formula. I'm giving him toddlers milk at bedtime because of his fussy eating, he's refusing to eat fruits for the past 2 months, & he only eats one proper meal at lunch which is around 2 tbsp. He doesnt snack or hold finger food, he's not interested. This is why we'r giving him toddlers milk as he needs the vitamins & nutrients in it.

DS is 14 months & he's pooing 3-5 time a day & it's a bit loose. He was FF & we switched to cow milk + toddlers milk at 12 months. He's also teething non stop as he only have 4 teeth :( Offer her more plain yoghurt & banana. xx

The irritation caused by new teeth makes them chew on stuff n keep putting things in their mouth...thats where the germs come from that cause the loosies. As long as the colour of the pooh is normal- yellowy and as long as it is not more than 6-8 times a day your baby should be ok. If the Poo is greenish or more than 8 times then its worth doing a stool test.
