L.M.
my daughter was on the ever so lovely alimentum until she was 2 yrs old because of the lactose / dairy intolerance. the ONLY thing that worked for us was adding RICE MILK into the formula slowly, ounce by ounce day by day. and soon we were just drinking straight rice milk. that was the ONLY thing that got her off that nasty formula.. and it IS nasty I KNOW that one.
I hope that this will help.. there is also ALMOND MILK at walmart in the dairy case it is like 2.86$ for a 1/2 gallon. and also lactaid the same price, try that a lil at the time and see. hope that it will help!
