My daughter is 6 months old. My dr thinks she has a cow’s milk protein allergy. She’s on nutramigen formula. I tried her on regular formula and she threw up violently for 3 hours and went pale and got really sleepy. so he thinks it’s cows milk protein allergy.
my question is….i’d like to try her on those baby mum mums rice cookie things. I looked up the ingredients and it’s got skim milk powder in them.
Do you think it would give her a reaction? i’m not sure how much is it 1 cookie thing, i wasn’t sure if she’d have a reaction or not. I know that i wont know until i give it to her and see…but i thought i’d get some opinions first and see what others thought.
your answers are much appreciated.
Thanks! : )
My second daughter had a severe milk allergy from birth to age nine. Finding things were her was always difficult. Here are some finger foods that she ate early on:
Plain toast (Check the bread for ingredients too)
Zweiback baby toast
Cheerios
Puffed Rice Cereal
Plain bagels toasted
Then closer to ten months she had little bits of meat, fruit, veges, pasta all cut up very small. We had to check every label every time I went shopping because companies changed ingredients sometimes. When she got older I found these soy dairy free frozen deserts that her and I both loved from Tofutti Brand. Milk can hide itself disguised as many words such as:
artificial butter flavor
butter, butter fat
casein
caseinates (ammonium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium)
cheese, cottage cheese, curds
cream
custard, pudding
ghee
Half and Half™
hydrolysates (casein, milk protein, protein, whey, whey protein)
lactalbumin, lactalbumin phosphate
lactoglobulin
lactose
milk (derivative, protein, solids, malted, condensed, evaporated, dry, whole, lowfat, nonfat, skim)
nougat
rennet casein
sour cream
sour cream solids
whey (delactosed, demineralized, protein concentrate)
yogurt
My daughter’s allergy was severe. Having a couple bites of pudding when she was two sent us to the ER with the beginning of anaphalactic shock. The doctors told us that if we waited a couple more minutes or she had a couple more bites she would have most likely died. She used to get hives, rashes, asthma/breathing problems, cold-like symptoms, watery eyes, runny nose, diarrhea, vomitting, and belly aches from her exposure. Her hives were scary because they looked like masquito bites, but got bigger than half dollars. Finally when she was nine years old we went for RAST blood tests and a skin prick test which showed she was no longer allergic. Yeay! She was so happy to be able to eat what other kids eat at parties and at school.
