Has anyone tried this?

Interested if anyone has tried this..

My son was breastfed until he was 4.5 months and we had to stop as he never latched so I was exclusively expressing the whole time and I didn't even get a moment in the day to play with him or even have a shower.

I switched him to formula and he's so sick on this, he was never a sicky baby when he was breastfed. The doctors are being very difficult about prescribing non dairy formula, even though I am dairy intolerant and it runs in my family. He is 6.5 months old now and obviously I don't give him anything with dairy in his solids.

Has anyone tried Kendamil goat formula instead of dairy formula and this helped?

If he has CMPA it’s very unlikely that he will tolerate goat milk as the protein is very similar. There is a soya formula you can buy in the U.K. but over half of babies with CMPA are also allergic to soya, as again the protein is very similar.

There is a great CMPA Facebook page. I would ask for advice on there.

Thanks both for the advice! I have joined the Facebook group 🙂
