Any idea if babies prefer the taste of one over the other ? My baby has cows milk allergy and I am debating between Alimentum and Nutramigen. Die-Hard Breast Milk advocates who have “pearls of wisdom” on giving breastmilk instead of forumla.. please do NOT reply !!!! I know that breastmilk is the best and I am planning on supplementing on the days I feel my milk supply may not be enuff for my 4.5 month old.

I have a 15month old that is having a hard time going from formula to milk. I have tried mixing the two, but he KNOWS. He is now starting to look at the bottle when we give it to him and if it isn’t juice he will throw the cup down! I have considered the possiblity of milk allergy, but I think he’s just being stubborn. Any tips?

My 10 month old is just starting to refuse formula. He eats baby food and table food fine. I simply can not get him to drink liquids. He doesnt really like juice and will occassionally drink water. He only weighs 19 pounds and is 30 inches already. Hes skin and bones. Im afraid he isnt getting what he needs since he isnt drinking formual. He also has a milk allergy so I can not just switch to milk. Any suggestions.

My granddaughter is sick almost every day. She drinks on average 3 pints of full fat milk every day, eats very little and has projectile vomiting. She does have an allergy to Soya which is excluded from her diet but is still being sick. Could it be she is having too much milk?

She is 3. She has severe skin reaction to egg white and suspected intolerance to wheat. She had eczema as a baby but we took her off milk and it cleared up. My GP was difficult in prescribing soya formula for her but eventually gave in.
Me and my partner have reasons for refusing to have her tested at the local NHS hospital.
We looked into going private for allergy testing and found a pediatric allergy specialist in south east London. They said i needed a referal from my GP even if i get the testing done privately.
My GP refuses to refer her saying we should use the local NHS hospital.
What can i do … where do we go from here?
I can not change GP’s since they are all pretty useless in my town and the only ones that aren’t are not taking on new patients. (My last GP was brilliant but he retired from the NHS to join the police service :~(
