Question 7

bf 6 wk old he has cow milk allergy i'm trying to stay dairy free but found out something's i eat have dairy, would goat formula be best or breastfeed?

Accepted Answer

Breastfeeding Best: Food protein-induced proctitis/proctocolitis is caused by proteins from cow's milk, which are ingested through breast milk or standard cow's milk based formulas. Treatment consists of complete elimination of cow's milk from the diet. Breastfeeding is always best. Strict avoidance is key, read labels and stay vigilant. Good news is that sensitivity resolves by one year of age in almost all infants.

Question 8

i'm interested to know if there is really a correlation between eczema and milk allergy in infants whether it can develop at 5 months old.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Eczema can develop at any time after about age 2 months and can be triggered by milk allergy. Dry skin is the major issue and thus using a moisturizer after bathing and again in 12 hrs is a must.

Question 9

is a milk allergy in an infant a symptom of autism?

Accepted Answer

No, it is not: A milk allergy can occur at any time. I developed it two years ago. This is a pure milk allergy without any difficulty with lactose intolerance. I have a daughter with the same condition and yet my autistic grandson does not have that symptoms at all.

she prescribed texa allergy,aspelone.so should i keep feeding him that cereal with cow's m?

Accepted Answer

: I would never feed an infant suspected of cow milk allergy any milk. Some with true milk allergy can die as a result. I would also never prescribe steroids to an infant that age with suspected food allergy. It interferes with their immune system. The treatment for food allergy is to avoid the specific food.
