My daughter is now 8 months old, and up until Dec. 27th she was fed Parents Choice Immune Support formula (milk based, prebiotics added) She did great with this until Christmas Eve, when she started getting HORRIBLE diahrreah. We decided to take her off the formula for a day and just give her baby food,oatmeal and pedialyte, which ended the diahrreah. So she was switched to a soy formula which helped but also made her spit up every time she ate. So, we were told to put her on a lactose free milk based formula. She doesnt get diahrreah, but she gets horrible gas pains and severe constipation. I dont think shes allergic to milk protein because she doesnt get rashes or have any trouble breathing or anything, but I really think she cannot digest milk properly. Has anyone elses baby been through this and what did you have to do? Her doctor told us to decide for ourselves which formula is better for her, so im just seeking advice. Thanks!
Also… is it true that soy formula messes up baby’s reproductive system or anything like that?

Hi,
My little girl is 3 weeks old and is suffering from wind after her feeds. I manage to burp her after every once or so and although she does free up alot of wind, she still suffers afterwards with wind when I put her down in her crib.
I am currently on SMA Gold and she is having around 4oz every 3-4 hours, sometimes she seems to still want more, although if I give her more she will become sicky.
The HV advised me to give her cooled boiled water inbetween feeds if she still seems hungry, which seems to be working, but my concern is her wind that causes her to be very unsettled especially at night.
Do you think I should change formula and if so, which formula is the best for windy babies?
I’m in the UK
Many Thanks x

what foods can my friend feed her daughter who is 14 months that does not have milk or red dye in it.
also she did not sleep at all last night, and has severe diaper rash
her poop is not normal and she has acid in her urine, they see the doctor on Wednesday but the doctor does not answer these questions at all when she does ask.

my nephew preferred to eat rice instead of his milk, he is only 9 months old, but when we accidentally buy a “LACTOSE FREE” milk he likes it and preferred milk instead of rice. whenever his hungry he chooses milk. and when we get back to a “MILK SUPPLEMENT” milk he just get back on his interest to eat rice instead of his milk.
but the problem is, the LACTOSE FREE milk indicated in its label that the milk is for medication purposes and needs a pediatricians prescription.
can someone give some comment on this?
i’ll appreciate it. thanks!

My daughter is 11 1/2 months old and her doctor told me that if I ran out of formula within 3 wks of her turning 1 to go ahead and give her milk well the past three days I have gave her milk and at night she would wake up and just scream, so yesterday I got some formula from a friend and gave my daughter only formula and she slept just fine. (She was on milk-based formula and did ok but when we switched her to lactose free formula she did much better but she never had a lot of issues) So should I giver her lacto free milk or try with milk again or should I just stick formula until her 12 month appt. (Please no ask your doctor answers I plan on bringing it up with her doctor on her next appt.) Thanks in advanced.

can you not get it for your doctor? i know alot of places will give you this type of milk, otherwise go to your local boots store and they will order it in for you, my son was on Enfamil Rice milk which i got off of the doctor for free but boots ordered it in when i had to buy it, contact your local boots store they should be able to help…
good luck

My baby has gas and spit up. Pedriatician recomended trying the lactose free milk. I’m afraid that the formula is missing nutrients in regular milk. Has anyone given their baby lactose free and if so did your baby continue to gain as much weight as before?

Hi, Can anybody pls tell me which brand is the best for lactose free milk powder for my 10 mnth daughter. she is lactose and wheat intolerant. And where in London would it be available.
Thanks a bunch

my son was on lactose free formula as it was the only one he agreed with
he was then weened to milk, but lactose free milk because im really not sure if he’s allergic to milk or not.
i’ve tried him with cheese to test his reaction but it seems every time he has cheese it’s followed with cold-like symptoms in the following days. Aka- runny nose and cough
Is this something that an allergy to dairy could cause or am I way off base?

I have some great recipes that do the rounds regularly but I am curious to hear what other mums cook up and try and expand the range with some more excellent meal alternatives.
I regularly buy salmon fillet, mince, chicken, tuna, sausages, pasta. Milk can be substituted with soya or formula.
