Food Allergies Treatment

Question by beckie: weaning off formula with a milk protien allergy?
my daughter will be a year old in 2 weeks (wow). she has been on Similac Alimentum since she was 2 months old due to a milk protien allergy. I’m not sure what to do now that she is almost ready to switch to cow’s milk. She hasn’t had a drop of dairy and I am so afraid to test her. I have heard to mix a small amount of real yogart into her soy yogart or give her a little cheese to see if she has out grown the allergy but I am scared. I had a bad milk allergy until I was an adolesent and I know the stomach pain dairy can cause. what is a good supliment for cow’s milk?

Unless I’m mistaken, the Alimentum still has milk protein in it; its just broken down partially. So technically she’s still been getting milk proteins.
Maybe she’ll tolerate milk products better than you fear!

Question by sgalin40: Can I use whole milk instead of water to make my babies formula?
She will be 1 year old in March. She was a preemie (36 weeks) and has not been gaining weight well recently due to illness the last few months. I am looking for ways to get as many calories into her as possible. She is not a big eater and will only take about 15 ounces of formula a day plus solids. Any suggestions for weight gain would be great. Also she has food allergies and is allergic to eggs, oats and soy products.

Your doctor should be able to give you an answer to this. I wouldn’t want to take a chance with anything store bought unless it was prescribed to me. Has she been diagnosed, or have you found this out on your own? Either way actually she should be on a doctor monitored diet.

Question by winkipinki: 1 year old with milk allergy although he’s had normal formula for whole life?
When I swtiched my son from formula to vitamin D milk he broke out in a rash and was super crabby. (he didn’t have any wheezing or swelling) But I still went ahead and switch him to soy milk. I’m just wondering how he could have an allergy to milk when he’s been drinking regular Enfamil formula for his whole life. (It has milk in it)
Or should I be looking for something else that could be giving him the rash? Although, I can’t think of anything else that he hasn’t had before that he’s had recently

To see pictures of the rash click the links below (it’s 2 pics that I uploaded to my photobucket)

Question by Madison’s mommy <3: Giving my 10 month old Whole Milk and skip the formula?
I know that you are not supposed to give whole milk until the baby is a year old, but I was wandering if any of you started earlier than a year? If you started at around 11 months, what would be the harm as long as the baby has no allergies?

Answer by Mae rose Roque
At 11 months you can do half whole milk half formula so that they get used to the whole milk
