My boys are now 8 months and cant have dairy, or soya, in their diet.
HTH a little xx
i am not allergic to dairy products and ds has had cheese and other things - i just dont know what else could have caused it as nothing else has changed.
thanks
hers started as a rash on her tummy and soon developed into ezcema all over her! it was a battle and half to get gp to try a different milk but after taking my mum with me they agreed and its been like having a different baby.
she also had awful colic and she would poo during or straight after every bottle and it would reach her shoulders!!
she was put onto soya milk but was then stopped as she was way under the 6 months mark which they are allowed soya. she is now on nutramigen milk which is a milk prescribed by the doctor.
we have to go see the dieticain after 6 months and can see a pead at any time but all they want to do is blood tests but with lizzie is is blindingly obv if she has something she cant have as the rash comes up very quickly and she ends up with tummy ache. like the strawberrys i gave her the other day they dont agree poor mite ending up with a very sore face and runny poo!
If your lo was truly allergic to cows milk etc then they couldnt eat cheese etc, perhaps its something else in the milk? x
Sorry, ive hijacked but dont find many people with babies on Neocate!
Im trying to wean my baby 61/2 months she's been on Nutramigen for over 2 months and was a God send for her, she cried in pain several times a day for over 4 months, had terrible wind and body rashes till we went on the new formula.
Im finding weaning really hard everytime she has anything with milk in she comes out in rash all over her face within a couple of mins, (happened twice when I didnt realise there was milk in the ingred) and when I gave her a fromage frais little stars. The Pead said I must assume she has a milk allergy due to her been so much better on the formula and given the face rashes (not been tested) but other than being told to use the formula for cooking no other dietry advice was given so I havn't got a clue what I should be doing.
Have people been referred to a dietician? Should I be asking for this?
Thanks Inka x
