Switching from formula to milk question
| Tue, 08-10-2004 - 7:10pm |
My daughter is 13 mos old. She was breastfed for the first 9 months and has been on Enfamil Lipil with Iron eversince. When she turned 1 I tried to switch her to whole milk. Mixing it with formula to slowly switch her. She got a rash so bad she was bleeding and she started throwing up. So I went back to formula. I just tried to switch her again and she immediately got a rash again. I don't know what to do. Her dr says it can't be a milk allergy since she was on a milk based formula. I was thinking of trying organic milk or soy milk on my own, but don't know if that is a solution or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

can she eat yogurt/cheese/ect? if so, she has a good chance of being able to handle whole milk, but you'll just need to move your time table nearer two instead of one. my dd was very allergic to milk when we first intoduced it but we did that and now at 5 she can drink it fine. still doesn't like the taste, but she can drink it without an allergic reaction.
hth,
good luck!
