I'm trying to wean my baby off breast milk but he's allergic to cow milk, what else can i give him?

Question

he's 10months old and he still needs milk right? he's eating excellently

Answer 1

You could also try goat's milk, it's actually better for you than cow's milk but more expensive.

If I were you though I'd try to keep breastfeeding. As they say - breast is best. The recommended age to breastfeed your baby to is actually 2 years. This benefits both you and your bub in so many ways.  

Answer 2

At 10 months, you need to use infant formula as a breastmilk substitute. There are many types of formula that don't contain cow's milk (eg soy, goat, and synthetic 'allergy free'). Consult a doctor before giving formula to a child with a known allergy.

Regular soy milk isn't recommended for children under 2 years. After 12 months you may be able to give your child goat's milk or lactose free milk, but see a doctor first.

Answer 3

try soy or rice milk.

Rice milk is better on your body any ways.  This happened to my daughter and she flourished with the rice milk.

Answer 4

If he is only 10 months he actually still needs formula for another 2 months. My daughter is also allergic to milk products, and I have her on soy formula which she is handling really well.

Answer 5

THEY SELL LACTOSE FREE FOMULA, OR YOU CAN GIVE HIM SOY

Answer 6

Soy milk

Answer 7

soy milk or a lactose free milk.

Answer 8

soy based stage 2 formula (next step, good start 2, or baby's only soy based toddler formula)

Answer 9

He needs calcium. Calcium can be obtained through a few different sources. Broccoli, vitamins, yogurt, cheese, enriched juices. You can find the suggested requirements for his age on-line. There are also rice, soy and goat milks on the market.  

Answer 10

soy milk

skin milk

i think they make milk for people that are alergic to reg. milk
