Milk protein Allergy

Miss M has an unconfirmed milk protein allergy. Unconfirmed because I’ve been putting off the allergy test they perform on babies. She gets rashes when she drinks regular similac n once I gave her a lil yogurt and she got rashes. First i couldn’t connect the dots and thought it was a random thing but then after formula feeding i noticed she was getting rashes around her mouth and neck and behind her ears. The ped said she cant be lactose intolerant because she doesnt have diarrhea nor does she vomit. Shes been breastfed so according to my research milk protein allergy is rare for babies who are breastfed. The problem is I’m introducing new foods to them (they r 11 months) and Im so restricted because almost everything has milk in it. I make my own baby food and she wants more than that. Any advice? Recipes (especially for meetha stuff)? and is she gonna grow out of it? Thanks in advance

p.s Ive tried soy and alementum but she refuses to chug that stuff down. I dont blame her… iIalmost threw up in my mouth when I smelled that stuff yuck

Try Rice milk

Re: Milk protein Allergy

I have Read that Enfamil / Enfaclac is closest to mother's milk & usually babies don't get allergy from it.

U can ask your ped.

Re: Milk protein Allergy

She doesnt take enfamil or any other formula and Ive tried it all. She is a bit anemic so she really needs to take iron fortified stuff but even with rice cereal, she gets the rash. Its soo weird that she can't eat rice cereal but shes fine with ghar ke rice.

Re: Milk protein Allergy

There is a difference between milk allergy, milk protein allergy and lactose intolerance. You shouldnt hesitate to go for the testing to find out the cause of the problems.
