Hi, my 10 month old son may have a milk allergy and for 2 weeks he has to go on a milk free diet, Help does anybody now some food he can eat, I know meat and veg but after that im at a loss lol..Help!!!

soy milk.....all sorts of flavors .....gave it to my son....and it doesnt taste bad.......talk to your doc if he's 10 mon....he still should have a formula of some kind

He is on a formula and he cannot have soy either

Theres a child at the daycare I work at who drinks rice milk! maybe that could work!?

Sounds like your pediatrician or a nutritionist may need to help you out on that one. Good luck.

Didnt the Doctor advise you of a diet as well?

Ask your doctor even though some may say different foods unless you know for sure some may contain milk products better safe then sorry

Ask your doctor about goat's milk

Humm rice milk I shall have to look for that ..thanks

ya somewhat in some werid lanuage,, like no milk and soy .,..so no this and no that and that was it, they lost me

ya I think I will but its not open till Tuesday

generally speaking, if your son is lactose intolerant (milk allergy) all you have to do is limit/cut milk and diary products from his diet. For example, it may beminor enough that he cant drink regular milk, but can still have butter or cheese, as there is less milk in either product than milk.

For now, if your doctor said to cut all milk, then cut all dairy prodicts for however long there is no milk product. After that, with your doctors assistance, start introducing your son to mild dairy products little by little, until you start seeing him have problems. Then obviously dont go further.

Keep in mnd also, this may not be a life long affliction. Your son may just not be ready, physically, for straight milk. All children grow and mature differently.

Good luck!


on a side note, be greatfulk he is not allergic to soy products as my brother was. Thankfully he is only intolerant now. Generally speaking, for about a year in length, the only thing he could eat ther than fresh (hand picked) fruits and veggies, was turkey and tuna fish, cause almost everyhting has some form of soy as a preservative in it. To this day, my brother still can not stand tuna fish, and is not very partial to turkey.

My daughter became allergic to lactose in her formula when she was 7 months. They switched her to lactose free formula. When it came time to switch her to milk, her doctor advised me to start out with one quarter part milk and 3 quarters formula and to keep doing it that way for 4 weeks until she was completely on the milk and off of the formula. They do have lactose free milk and some dairy products too.

Didnt you think it was important enough to make sure you understood what the Dr was saying before you left his office???

Did you not think it was important enough, to make sure that you had a set diet and under stood all the information the doctor was telling you?
