Dairy free
in Baby
Alyssa has awful reflux, extreme eczema and refuses to drink her milk...i keep asking my gp about milk intolerance to which he says get it out of your head they are very rarely proven?!?!?
So today i am switching her to a dairy free diet buying lactose free milk to see if it makes a difference...now just after some help with regards to milk, yoghurt cheese etc as obviously at 6 and a half months we were starting her on cheese sauces and yoghurt so what can i use?
Thank you x

There is a lactose free cheese you can use and i also used Soya yoghurts for my DD who now at the age of 2 is slowly improving.
Will the GP not refer you to a Dietician ?

I found it intersting as i have dairy intollerance and will always keep eye on LO. We have insticts for a reason so it might be worth getting second opinion or adicve on trying him with dairy free food?

secondly I was going to say pretty much everything WOWbaby said. there is a difference between lactose and cows milk protien intolernece, lizzie suffers both so the lactose free stuff is no good for her!
soya milk would be a good start- according to sma website the soya milk tastes same as there normal fomula and babies can have soya milk once they are over 6 months but not before.
we use soya yogurts (THEY ARE BIG AND LAST FOR 3 SITTINGS)
also they do soya puddings which lizzie loves, again thse are fairl big.
also watch out if you use any packeted foods for milk content in them.
you can buy dairy free butter like spread called pure to make mash potoe and stuff.
im off to hv in a min and i am going to ask oif lizzie can have goats cheese. I think she can but i best ask first!
there are other things that makes lizzies skin bad (she suffers the bad skin, bad nappies and colic when she eats the wrong thing) these rae strawberrys,citrus fruits and mango.
oh and if its something baby doesnt grow out of (apparentlymost do by the age of 5) they also sell dairy free choc buttons

so think we are going to give cheese a miss altogether!
Hope you get somewhere with your doc Mrs P.
