Seeking Ideas for Baby Allergic to Milk

You can buy goats milk and even rice milk at whole foods. They even have goats milk yoghurts. For when she is older they have a great variety of non dairy foods and snacks. My son has a Lactose Intolerance and still spat up after each feed we added rice cereal to his milk and it wasn't as bad. Because he did bring back all the time the doctor felt that he had reflux disease so took Zantac, this protects the lining of the oesophagus. The ear infections could be a result of her allergies/sensitivities. I wouldn't go down the tubes route yet, some babies are more prone to infections because there tubes are smaller and will improve as they grow. If she has a tendency to be congested, that can be another sign of allergies and even reflux, if you are not doing it already run a humidifier in her room all the time and even put saline drops in her nose. I run one in my sons room and find this really works. I hope some of this helps.

Goats milk for sure. You can buy it at farmers markets and also winder dairy. You could give her protein shakes my cousin did that cuz her baby wouldn't drink milk. Also, don't fret i have a lady in my ward that they don;t beleive in milk except breastmilk so their kids just frink water no juices... Nothing. I know the doctors would disaggree but she is really a health nut and her kids are never sick and don't gettheir immunizations> good luck i would be worried too!!!

I would go for the goats milk. I actually drank it growing up and if it is taken care of right, it doesn't taste any different. Anyway, right now I don't know anyone who has goats etc personally, but I know they are out there. I would just google goats milk in utah and see what comes up. I know when my family was doing the goats milk, we had quite a few moms come to buy milk because their babies couldn't keep anything else down. Good luck, feel free to contact me if you have anymore questions or if you aren't having any luck with finding anything.

How do you feel about re-lactation? You could probably do it and then she could just have your milk which doesn't seem to bother her.. I would contact La Leche League or a Lactation specialist.
