Does dairy free ready to use formula exist?

[SophieRules]

My baby is mostly breastfed but it would be useful to have to ready to use dairy free formula for the odd occasion.

You can get goat milk formula.

I am looking for dairy free as goats milk protein is very similar.

How old is your baby? If they are over a year old, you could try Alpro oat growing up milk. Sold in most supermarkets in the UHT aisle and ready mixed.

No i dont think there are ready made options for dairy free formula

3 months, sorry I’m not experienced with formula. How does one manage out and about for a day out, as I think it is only ok for 2 hours once made.

Honestly, out and about BF is so much easier (coming from a FF mum!)

If out and about and can't get ready made then pre measure your formula into pots and put the water into your bottles and either buy one of those Tommy Tippee heaters or just get boiling water wherever you are out and about to reheat.

Most people don’t feed ready made formula out and about (it’s expensive frankly). For my one that was formula fed, I’d make it before we left home and use it before the 2 hours was up - if we were leaving at 9:30 for a 10am class and I knew she’d have a feed about 10:30-11am, I’d make it as I was leaving and it would cool by then. Otherwise, powder in a sterile bottle and hot water in a flask. Again, I knew she’d probably want to eat before her nap at 1pm, so I’d make it about noon so it would be ready for her then. I never messed around with all these gadgets for cooling or whatever.

That said, if your baby breastfeeds, definitely just feed them from the breast. It’s so much easier. I would absolutely take bf over the faff of dealing with bottles.

Vast majority of babies with CMPA cannot tolerate goat milk either.

Most children with a cows milk allergy have to avoid all animal milk as the proteins are similar

two DCs with CMPA here!
DC1 combi fed with breast milk and Alfamino formula (prescribed by Dr). Born in lockdown so I never got used to bottles on the go and BF’d whenever we were out.
DC2 combi fed and prescribed Pepti 1. Tried to bf as much as possible when out or would make a bottle just before leaving. The tip I was given at the time was to take 2 flasks, one with boiled water and one with cooled boiled water and try and recreate the prep machine with a hot shot then top up with cool to get it the right temp. I couldn’t get my head around this 😆 we got the TT flask that cools boiling water to the right temp, that was good but needed 4 hours to cool itself after use.
i don’t know if this is any use to you but my advice would be stick to bf while you’re out, at least until baby is starting solids. Or pump and take a bottle of milk if that works for you.

Yeah I second this. I found it much easier breast feeding my two whilst out rather than formula feed. My dd didn't stomach formula very well and whilst I combi fed my ds i always found it was much less of a faff breastfeeding him out of the house rather than taking formula with me.
