Does anyone know if there is another dairy free formula besides Nutramigen?
My 5 month old son is allergic to cows milk protien,I have him on Nutramigen but it smells awful and I was wondering if there was another brand that i could try?
He is also allergic to soy so that make it harder.He still only takes about 2 maybe 3 oz at a time,my pediatritian is aware of this and i see her every week,my son has a heart defect and has had 2 surgerys already,the doctors just have me adding more formula to the water but i still just feel so helpless that all he take in 24 hours is 14 oz on a bad day and 19 or 20 on a good day.I know this is a very low amount and the doctors know to but he is still gaining weight.He is a very active healthy baby otherwise i just cant understand how when he eats so little.
But thank you for suggesting soy.

Similac has a formula called Alimentum which is hypoallergenic. This is pretty costly but worth it if it’s what your baby needs.
Isomil is a soy based formula. Just about all formulas smell horrible. If he’s doing well on the Nutramigen I wouldn’t switch him just because the formula smells. He could have a reaction to any other formula as well. Nutramigen is the best formula for sensitive babies, so if you have a good thing, stick with it!
ask your doctor to write you a prescribtion for special formula my mom had to do that with me and my friend has to with her 1 year old boy. he is severaly allergic to dairy. when it comes to allergies don’t play around they can start out small and lead up to sever reactions.
