My 10 week old baby is extremely sickly he is bf and allergic to dairy so I am avoiding it completely. Is there anything I can do because he's putting weight on the doctors aren't bothered but it's that bad it's stopping us from going out because it goes everywhere as it's generally a whole feed that comes up

DS is allergic to dairy and under the paediatricians. I was advised to exclude soy too, as 40 % of babies that have cows milk protein allergies are also allergic to soy.

Soy would make DS vomit as a baby where as dairy upsets his tummy and give him diarrhoea. Might be worth trying?

Will give that ago we couldn't get in with paediatrician till the 14th of April which has annoyed me a bit.
Just at a loss what to do as obviously I don't want to be house bound with it but it is heading that way at the minute

I found even 4-5 days of soy free helped ease the vomiting a bit and by 2-3 weeks he was much, much better. He still had reflux for two years and need ranitidine then omeprazole throughout that time.

I'm sure you are doing this but small and more frequent feeds helped, along with sitting him upright for 30mins after feeds.
