:yeahthat:

My DS is allergic to the cows milk protein (as am I), so lactose free products are absolutely no different for him, he will still have the same reaction. Lactose intolerance and cows milk allergy are two completely different things.

Bigbubbabelly, what did the allergist say? It's fantastic that you are breastfeeding your daughter, perhaps that's enough, and she doesn't need extra milk for now? If that's not the case, and she does need something extra, then I would agree with a PP to try Neocate, which is a hydrolysed formula available on prescription. Personally, I would stay away from soy based milks. A huge amount of people with cows milk issues also have issues with soy (again, myself and my DS, particularly DS), so it's usually not the best replacement. And although the goats milk protein is smaller, therefore easier for humans to digest, some people with cows milk problems also have problems with goats milk.

If your daughter has a known allergy then I wouldn't be playing around too much, I would seek help from someone who can give you good, solid advice about what she needs ATM. FWIW, my DS (23 months) has rice milk, as it was really the only replacement he would happily drink. But we give him a calcium and magnesium supplement, as advised by our naturopath.

HTHs, good luck
