pasta dishes, and meat(chicken beef, etc) are always a good idea. And you can do a veggie thing.

Question by M: Can I breastfeed thru a milk allergy?
I have a 2 mo old son with a suspected milk allergy. I have seen mucus in his stool and he is VERY
fussy at night after nursing all day. I have eliminated milk from diet with no change in baby. I do not want to stop breastfeeding – HELP!
The doctor suspects milk allergy. I have to give one bottle per day to get baby ready for daycare, that is when the crying started (3 weeks old)…we have switched from milk based to soy formula and now nutramigen. He is also on Zantac to see if it is acid reflux.

Who suspects the allergy? Is it you or his doctor? Are you sure he isn’t colic? Sounds a bit like colic to me. My baby girl was colic and sounds just llike yours. If you havent already, check with his doctor about these symptoms. It is rare that breastfed babies have allergic reaction to what you eat. It can happen, but it isn’t extremely common.

Question by hearts_bleed_dark: Is it okay to mix milk with formula to get my seven month old used to it or should i not use milk til 1 year?
my husband wants me to start mixing milk with his formula and I have always heard that if you give a child milk before they are a year old it can cause them to have worse allergies.. he’s almost eight months, and a friend of ours did this with their child at five months but im just not sure about it.

WAIT!! I tried it with my youngest son and he would have seriously bad diarrea because their little tummies cannot digest it yet.

Question by stressed: My son is 11 mos old on elecare formula? what is the next formula to try with less milk or soy?
IF he even has an allergy it’s an intestinal one as he tested negative to milk and soy by patch and blood work. The only way we will know is by oral challenge. We want to take him to something with less milk or less proteins so it’t not a hard adjustement on his system.

If he is severely allergic try a fully hydrolyzed formula such as Nutragimen AA. Some babies are able to stomach some milk proteins (my daughter is also allergic) and you can try him on goats milk..but if you see a reaction starting stop usage straight away and give piriton. I personally wouls stick to the fully hydrolyzed formula until you know for sure what it is hesallergic too exactly.

Question by Braedyn’s Mommy ?: Strange Bowel Movements when switched to whole milk??
My son has been on Similac Alimentum since he was 3 months for colic and cow’s milk protein allergies. He is a yr. old and he has recently been doing some formula and some whole milk. His BM’s have been very strange, sometimes orange and red. And he is also having them more than normal. Is this normal in the transition to whole milk.. or should I be concerned. Any help would be appreciated (:
