A member asked:
My newborn was put on novalac aminova formula because she is lactose intolerant. however it is not easy to find and very expensive. can we switch?

Maybe: The soy based formulas are naturally lactose free, if that is the real issue. If the doc suspects a true milk allergy at least 1/3 are also sensitive to soy, which is why amino acid formulas were developed. As a USA based site we are not privy to what formulas are available in your country.
