Types Of Formula For Cow Milk Protein Allergy Preferably Other Then Soy?
I am 100 percent certain my 10 1/2 month old son is allergic to cows milk protein (among other things) we tried formula a few different times 2 of those time we ended up going to the hospital because he threw up, got all swollen and he started weazing and I just wanted to make sure his throat wasn’t going to close…. it didnt and he ended up being fine…. 1st reaction was from rice cereal that had milk powder in it that I didnt know about 2nd reaction I had no idea that he couldn’t tolerate milk and 3rd we tried lactose free formula only to find that kind has cows milk protein in it!
Anyways to sum it up I need to know what other formulas are out there for him because I need to ween him from breastfeeding soon and I also understand that 80% of babies allergic to cows milk are also allergic to soy… so are there any without soy milk? We will be seeing the doctor soon about this I just wanted others opinions on this matter!

Sounds like he’s not ready to wean.
You can try the predigested stuff (Alimentum or Nutramagin) but it’s pretty foul tasting.
Similac makes a lactose free if that is enough to help him. I think they just changed the name to gentle stomach or something like that.
I have not heard of the connection between allergies so I would ask your doctor about that.
You could try hypoallergenic formulas like Nutramagin or Allimentum. They are specially made for babies just like yours.
Definitely try the Alimentum or the Nutramagin formula. A little girl (she is 2 yrs old) in my childare is on the Alimentum because she can’t digest the proteins in milk or soy. It says this right on the lable “Hypoallergenic formula for food allergies and colic due to protein sensitivity”. Good luck
You might even consider goat’s milk. Some babies who are allergic to cows milk can tolerate goats milk.
I have my baby girl (8 weeks) on Goats milk formula – it’s pretty expensive but it does the job.
I don’t know what country you’re in but here in Australia there’s only one brand of it that i know of – Karicare Goat’s Milk.
