Any dairy-free ready-made formula options for a seven-month-old with suspected allergy?

My 7MO has a suspected cows milk allergy (he’s being tested soon) but in the meantime we can’t find any dairy free pre-made formula. We have prescription hydrolysed dairy free Aptamil but it says you can’t make it up more than 2 hours ahead of time and we can’t find any pre-made dairy free on the market. The first one was mixed fed and we took out pre-made bottles all the time. I’m having to stop breastfeeding as I’m going back to work and my partner is worried this will restrict his range for being out the house. Thanks

Hi, we had the same problem with my little boy and despite extensive searches never found a ready made dairy free formula. We actually started taking out a flask to do a hot shot with the formula (similar to a prep machine) and cooled down pre-boiled water to top up. This was three years ago so you might be more successful in your search than I was. We've just had a newborn and going to try the nuby rapid cools system this time.

It certainly isn't as convient as ready made, but my boy was diagnosed at a couple of months old so it was a life line for us being able to make up bottles when out and you soon get the hang of it x
