Hi BigBubbaBelly,

My son had an anaphylactic reaction to a cows milk based formula at 8 months of age and his allergy to milk (also egg & peanuts) was confirmed at 11 months. At the time he was breastfeed and I too was wanting to wean him in preparation for my return to part time work.

In the early days he was not keen on Soy based formulas but something that worked for us was to add a little vanilla flavoured soy milk to the prepared formula. From memory we started with a 3:1 mix and then slowly reduced this so that he was having straight formula. He is now 22 months and is still having 200mls at nights (his doctors suggested we keep him on the formula for as long as he will take it).

Hope this helps!
