Been told to stop BF because DD maybe cows milk intolerant - help!

[Lucky13]

We've just got back from the hospital, where we've been told that DD (8 weeks) is probably cows milk intolerant. The consultant wants me to stop BF and start formula immediately. I want to wait until the test results are back (a week) - would i be doing her any harm in holding off till then? The doc says i can go back to BF if tests are negative, but i feel that's the wrong way to go.

If the tests show her to be intolerant can i still continue to BF if i go dairy free?

I really don't want to give up, but feel like i'm hurting her.

Does anyone have any advice.

eh??

STOP breastfeeding because your baby is COW milk intolerant? Me no understand. You're not producing cow milk, are you ?

Soy formula is definitely not an adequate replacement for breast milk. If they think it is a problem with cow milk, you give up dairy in all its forms and see how it goes.
