3 Questions in one....trying to Be Efficient ;O) (1 of These Is TMI, Sorry)

My kids have milk intolerance .... I'm not sure what the difference is between that and sensitivity. They are not allergic. They can't break down the lactose. We just give them regular dairy milk that is lactose free - it works fine for us. I have not tried the other kinds - did not need to. So not sure if that helps or not.

I have breakthrough bleeding around ovulation. It's quite common if you are on birth control medication. Some women get it every cycle, some now and then, and others not at all. If it's heavy or painful, consult your doctor.

We used an Aveno toddler SPF lotion that was good for sensitive skin. I also use the one for babies by Coppertone. I just make sure the SPF is high and still dress them in long sleeves, but light material whenever I can and hats. Mine are fair.

Good luck :)

Once babies are weaned from breast milk or formula they don't need milk anymore so why are you even pushing it? My three kids never liked milk, except for on their cereal.
Yes,your cycle will change over time, being a woman is an ever changing process so get used to it.
I never put anything on my kids' skin but sunscreen, Coppertone, Banana Boat, Aveeno, whatever was on sale, it all worked well.

1. My boys ended up constipated if they had too much dairy. So we cut back a bit and made sure they had enough fruit and veg to keep things moving. Usually, when kiddoes end up stopped up, it's because they're having too much, and not enough variety, not because they can't digest it.

2. Yes.

3. Lubriderm and Aveeno both have good daily lotions with SPF.

Lotions labeled with an SPF number are sunsreens. My daughter uses a spray on. She says it's easier to apply on a wiggly toddler. She buys one with a high SPF number at the lowest price.

My grandson was chronically constipated. Not only did the doctor suggest using less dairy, no bananas or apples and to increase fiber, use grape or prune juice. Packaged food labels tell you how much fiber the food contains. I try to buy cereals and breads with 3 grams or more fiber.

My granddaughter was lactose intolerant. Her mom gave her fortified rice milk. Now we have nut milks that taste better. They may have more protein And nonsaturated fats.

I love reading labels. I've taken nutrition classes. You can find vitamin, mineral, fat, and fiber recommendations on line.

Lactose is in more than just milk so mind not only the milk but also the cheeses, yogurt, ice cream, etc. For mine we had to stay off all matters dairy until at least 18 months. We substituted veggie cheese, lactose free yogurt, soy milk, etc. Then we added dairy back in slowly. Even now we mind quantities because it can still cause problems if they take in too much dairy at once (example, milk, ice cream, cheese and yogurt all in one day equals disaster).

The way our pediatrician described it is as follows: the lactose is not being broken down and so it builds in your body. The more lactose containing products you consume, the more you store. At some point your system will overload and we see the symptoms common to lactose intolerance - bloating, gas, constipation, etc. If a person is more sensitive, then they can't build too much and the symptoms start earlier or there is a more immediate reaction to the build up like vomiting.

Refusing to eat veggies is neither here nor there to me. Kids strike on foods all the time even the ones they love the most. Focus on the overall diet not the minute by minute plays. Remember if you don't like what they eat, then don't offer it.

my mother grew up just fine without milk or dairy in her diet. eating a balanced diet and taking vitamins worked for her

spotting mid cycle only happened to me while i was on the mini pill after my first was born but has not happened since. if you are super concerned call the gyn for peqace of mind

i would see how this worked for daily use before slathering on toxic sunscreen daily. but thats just me! i try to limit sun exposure by keeping my kids in the shade and using those sunblocking swim shirts when playing in the water. i use sunscreen for times when necessary and that coopertone kids spray on sunblock and they get a bath that same day to wash it all off
