Food Allergies Treatment

Question by stellarredgirl: Can I switch my 6 mo. old baby from soy formula back to milk based.?
He was never diag. w/ a milk allergy, just had digestive issues as a newborn and tolerated soy well. Has been on soy since 1 month old and is now 6 months old. I would like to switch back to similac advance instead of isomil. I have read some controversy on soy.

well my daughter was on soy and she was never really got Dag with milk allergy’s her grandmother is a nurse and she thought just to try it and my daughter was fine on it. we did not Switch her back at all to regular formula but when she turned a year old we tried whole milk and she did fine on it. but if you really want to put him back on the slimilac stuff i would do it really slowly like an 2oz of soy stuff and an oz of the silmiac stuff until its all the way to just the slimilac stuff. good luck. i would talk to you dr about it too.

Question by jaxs921: Has anyone had their pediatrician given them the OK to switch their baby from formula to milk before a year?
My sons pediatrician said it was ok for me to switch my 7 month old from formula to whole milk. He said because he is eating fruits, veggies and cereals so well, is healthy and does not have a milk allergy, it would be fine. I am comfortable doing this, I am just wondering if anyone else has been told this?

I did at 11mo, but only a bit, not completely. I don’t agree with your ped sorry.

My 5 mo old son has been on a hypoallergenic (very expensive) formula since age 6 weeks due to a diagnosis of lactose intolerance and milk allergy/sensitivity. Now that he is on solids he seems to tolerate milk products well and I am attempting to change to a regular formula to save money. Has anyone else tried this? Been successful? Today he is getting half and half and seems to be doing fine. I know what to look for with the lactose intolerance, but the milk allergy diagnosis was shaky so I am not sure what to look for.
