There is a specific allergy board where you might want to get this moved to, but NHS website says

skin reactions – such as a red itchy rash or swelling of the lips, face and around the eyes
digestive problems – such as stomach ache, vomiting, colic, diarrhoea or constipation
hayfever-like symptoms – such as a runny or blocked nose
eczema that doesn't improve with treatment
Occasionally CMA can cause severe allergic symptoms that come on suddenly, such as swelling in the mouth or throat, wheezing, cough, shortness of breath, and difficult, noisy breathing.

Do you think your baby might be suffering. Try googling CMPA (cows milk protein allergy)

Hiya my little one has a milk allergy. He was really unhappy all the time, sounded like he had a constant cold, was always being sick and having runny nappies with mucus and spots of blood in them, eczema, would hit his belly, was a terrible sleeper I mean like 10 mins down and then back up crying, suffered really bad gas to the point he would cry cos of it and so much more but it's seems my brain has blocked most of that hard time out 😂 I finally got him on to nutramigan 1 witch still has milk protein in it but it's really broken down after getting told babies cry and babies are sick then being told he had reflux and going through all the medication for that. For a couple of weeks the nutramigen made alot of the symptoms go away but 2 weeks ago his reflux came back worse than ever and then a week after he started having black spot in his poo with alot of mucus and then 2 day after that after every feed his whole torso would come out in a angry red rash/lumps and under neath his chin also. Went back to doctors and got put on nutramigan puramino and it's the second day and the rash has gone but his still got eczema it runs in the family and his so much happier content baby. Hope this helps you.
