What are your thoughts on Goats Milk formula for CMPI ?

[BioBalkis]

Great video thank you! Please don't use background music it's distracting

[CrestinaLeung-kvcg]

Thank you so much for this. My baby’s pediatrician did mention the cow’s milk allergy but never really explained it to me and my husband. So having you explained it so well here is huge help. Thank you so much

I am pregnant with twins due within the next 8 weeks. I have two daughters already that both had CMPA.
Thank you for this video! I have been struggling with the idea of giving up dairy now so when the twins are born, I can pump and hopefully avoid a reaction in the very beginning!

I don’t think mentally I can wait 4-6 weeks😭

[derekmccloud]

This is good advice. I think I prefer the advice without the background music. Or make the background music much softer. 😊

[LilianaRamirez-yfmf]

Thank you so much for explaining this. Dr just gave us the diagnosis, hypoallergenic formula samples and sent us on our way. Didn’t explain anything at all.

How about using goat milk based formula? I have read that it has a lower ratio of casein like that of breast milk. Such as Kendamil goat milk. My daughter won't take the nutramigen because of the taste and smell. She is breastfed. I am thinking of using goat milk instead.

I'm on my 3rd kid and all of them had CMPA. However, with my 3rd baby, We are also dealing with a soy allergy which has made breast feeding incredibly challenging. We switched to alimentum (my firstborn did well on it), but the mucus in his poop was not subsiding. We eventually switched to puramino and cut out breast milk entirely despite being pretty confident that my milk was dairy and soy free. It's been over 1 week on the puramino strictly, but there's still mucus in the poop. I worry that using and amino acid bases formula would affect baby's chances of overcoming the CMPA. My eldest is 7 years old now and still allergic to dairy, although he can tolerate in certain forms to an extent (I.e. cooked yogurt). He was strictly formula fed with alimentum at 6 weeks. With my second, I was able to nurse him by maintaining a dairy free diet. He got over the allergy by age 1. I wonder if hypoallergenic formula affects chances of overcoming the allergy.

What about for a baby with CmA and soy allergy ? My poor baby is struggling with gas, stomach pains, fussiness.

Thank for this very important and detailed video! Gold knowledge for mommas

Hi dr. Can we use formula for my new born baby, its called primilac CMA

[saravillatoro]

Can I try the formulas with partially hydrolyzed for exclusively breastfeed baby or is partially hydrolyzed more recommended for formula fed babies ?

[laurenp]

Thank you so much for your videos! I have been researching this topic for my 5 month old struggling with eczema, gassiness, and colic. I have attempted to give up dairy before but did not know it could take up to 6 weeks! This information has been super helpful. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks!

My baby has milk allergy and egg white allergy so shall I also stop these things being a breast feed mother

[cindyz]

Thank you! This is so helpful for a new mom!

Thoughts between Enfamil Nutrimigen vs Similac Alimentum? Please

[Maggie-zbgx]

My baby does best without dairy in my diet. Seen this clearly when I cut it out. Hard cheeses don't have such a heavy effect. I ate cream cheese recently and all symptoms came back after a few nursing sessions.

Either way-breast is best and we will get through this together.

[TracyJordan]

So based on your other video explaining the difference, if baby has an allergy, could you still eat foods with some whey in it but avoid all casein?
