DD is 20 weeks and around the 6 month stage I want to start mix feeding but I think she has a dairy sensitivity. Which formula would be appropriate?

Hi - probably best to see your GP, if it's necessary they can prescribe lactose free or dairy free formula. Apparently it isn't a good idea to experiment yourself with soya or other formulas without medical supervision, as they can cause other problems. If you can, it may be best to plan to carry on exclusively bf. Good luck

Depends if it is dairy or lactose that is the problem. Soya can be an allergen for a lot of children. Low-lactose formulas include Aptimil and Cow and Gate Omneo but I would talk to a doctor if you intend to go totally lactose or dairy-free. Word of warning though - not all take this seriously.
