Switched to nutramigen, still has diarrhea. how long till it goes away?

Question

my son has food allergies so the doc switched his formula to Nutramigen hypo-allergenic formula. We just started it last night.. but he still has some diarrhea. I am wondering if it can take a day or so for the other stuff to get out of his system?

Answer 1

i know that it can take 2 weeks for dairy to clear a nursing mother's milk, so i would expect it to take a while for it to leave a baby's system.

some babies are so sensitive that they can't even have the hypoallergenic formulas, so it's possible that this won't help him.

Answer 2

It will take a couple of days
