Our baby can't seem to tolerate her mother's milk. My wife eats a bland diet, but this doesn't seem to help. She is very upset and does not know who to talk to. Her doctor doesn't have any answers. She is a Board Certified Lactation Consultant, as well as a retired La Leche League Leader.
Diarrhea is much less common in the breastfed child.
When diarrhea does occur, nursing should be maintained in most cases. Allergy to breastmilk is extremely rare. Normally, stools in an exclusively breastfed baby are unformed, and of pea soup consistency. The odor should be mild. Frequent, loose stools are not uncommon.
