[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP unfortunately its a case-by-case. You can start with Alimentum but my kid reacted to it. But his intolerance may have been more severe since he just recently started to tolerate dairy at almost 5. We tried prior- 3x- and failed each time. He is up to cooked cheese and our next step is yogurt. Many of the kids we knew with similar intolerance to dairy protein were able to tolerate by 1-2, as similarly detailed in the above posts.

If Alimentum or Nutramigen doesnt work there is goat formula (Holle), but there is cross reactivity. I want to make it clear that Alimentum/Nutramigen still has cows milk protein but it is considered hydrolyzed since it is broken down into smaller proteins. This is why it doesnt work for some kids because you need complete elimination not just reduction. If that doesnt work you will need to move to elemental formulas which is a bit unfortunate because well, they are pretty gross. Neocate and Elecare are two I have seen discussed.

Honestly, I continued to pump and nurse since he kept having reactions and Ripple wasnt as widespread/well known since my baby was born in 2018 so up until 2019/2020 I dont remember seeing it in many stores. I think the first store was Harris Teeter but my son could not tolerate full supplementation until they created the chocolate one, which seems to be easier to digest? Coconut/almond/soy arent as nutritionally dense and werent a good replacement for nursing IME.

Good luck &lt;3[/quote]

The reason I mentioned the ripple and other milk substitutes is because at 1 you can start trailing those and integrating them for a milk substitute should your child continue to have an intolerance/sensitivity. [/quote]
