Suggest Treatment For Milk Allergy In An Infant
Hi the doctor thinks my 6 month old had a milk allergy so we have changed his formula to allerpro and that seemed to work as far as him being a lot more settled at night, regular bowel movements and his eczema has gone away. However he has started to vomit clear flem after the bottles so the doctor has now put him on lactose free formula. I m worries that changing his formula will bring back all those nasty symptoms or will it make him even better?? Help!!

Hi...Greetings from Chennai. After going through your question in detail - this is my opinion and this is what I would have done if I were your treating pediatrician.
Possibility -
1. Cow's milk protein allergy is a strong possibility as there as blood in the stool in exclusively breast fed baby.
Suggestions -
1. Mother should go off the cow’s milk products completely - including biscuits and chocolates and all products related to milk.
2. Continue exclusive breast feeding and if it is not sufficient you can opt for Zerolac.
3. Cow's milk protein intolerance in transient as it will go off as the kid grows up.
4. Avoid all cow's milk products till the kid is 1 year age.
5. Mother's milk is the best for good growth of the baby. Rather than stopping mother's milk, it is best for the mother to avoid all milk products and continue breast feeding.
