My son is allergic to milk...

My son was also allergic to milk but we didn't find out until he was about 3 years old. It was much easier to deal with at that age than it would be with a baby, I'm sure. What about Rice milk? Is that a possible replacement or Goats milk maybe?

YES...my youngest was allergic to both...and he was on special formula called neocate...it is really expensive..and takes more to make bottles...and you get less in the can...if you have a local WIC program...they will help you..but it is the best formula...it tastes REALLY nasty...and is hard to get them to take it at first...but better for them...and they get all the vitamins...nutrients...and everything..they need...I know the number is 1-800-NEOCATE...had to call it everytime to order it...I think the website...is www.neocate.com...it will help explain alot...and tell you everything you need...to know...about the formula...good luck...

Here is website that should help you NotMilk.com http://www.notmilk.com I am vegan myself and choose to not drink milk After realizing the effects of milk I am grateful. I am also disgusted by the horrible treatment of animals in modern factory facilities thetimeisnow

Wow. That sucks. He may outgrow it from what I've read though. Rice milk? So what are you using instead?

my son was allergic to soy and cow we put him on nutramigien the hypoallergenic formula hes 14 months and is now tolerating cows milk

I'm 42 and so am I. When I was a baby my mom was told she was just fussing and to put me on whole cow's milk because I wasn't putting on weight. You can imagine the result. I'm fine now but I take calcium with vitamin D daily.

My son is 13 and for the last 3 years he has not been drinking milk. Earlier also, with great persuation he used to drink milk. Doctors said, if he doesnot like, do not force upon him. There are other children in my relatives family, they too do not drink milk. What they do is to mix COMPLAN, BOOST, HORLICKS, OVALTINE and make the milk watery and give to them as energy drink. Now those children are drinking milk indirectly.

My brother was allergic to milk - but, he outgrew it at around 6 years old. We had to plan special things for his birthday because he could not eat cake and ice cream. Does you son have other allergies - or is it just milk?

Have you try Rice milk, or goat milk. my son was allergic to soy and cow milk. M mother in law suggested rice milk and goat milk and it work. But to be sure try to have you kid tested for allergy before you try it. My son is now 21 and he's a strong young man...and he still love is rice milk and goat milk

wow I fell bad for that kid

No one in my family has that kind of problem.

it is better u feed ur own milk at this age and side by side try some other milk,with time he will develope a habit to digest it

Your son is probably what is known as "lactose intolerant". Millions of people are. Just look at all the products now on the shelves to deal with this conditions such as Lactase and lactose free milk products. The reason: the human body does not have the enzyme necessary to break down the elements contained in cow's milk. Makes sense though doesn't it...we aren't cows! We really never were intended to drink cow's milk. It is just ingrained into our culture, I think, why so many people drink milk and then suffer from it.

You MUST get him to a doctor and let ask the doctor what to do. You can also play it safe, and try to get your milk going again. For gods sake! Be careful! My neighbor's daughter became mentally slow from being given soy-formula as an infant. The kid is 25 now, but still mentally slow. Her mom sued the company that made the formula when the girl was about 3, but that will never make up for the fact that this now young woman will have to spend her life in group homes, or recievng SSI forever. (When she should be going to college, dating hot guys, driving, going to clubs, ect), will never be part of this young lady's life! Due to that damm soy-formula 25 years ago! Please, you don't want that guilt on you forever. Talk to your doctor, try to get your milk going again. I know it's inconveinent, but only a little while is all you need.

Yeah, my mom is allergic to all kinds of milk. When she get a little constepated, all she has to do is take a little sip of milk and it works within 20 minutes!

my son doesnt like milk. i dont know why?

I was allergic to it when I was little ~ thank god I grew out of it. My mom used to give me the powdered milk ~ that stuff was nasty. Have you tried the powdered milk? ~Remember to give out +'s when it's deserved & select best responses. It helps us all out ;-]
