How to Make Baby Less Gassy, Fussy | Avoid Cow Milk Allergy with Breastfeeding or Formula

[@AskDoctorAmy]

Have you had experience with this? Let us know how it went!

[@sunShine-lo4xg]

My 11 months old daughter has just been prescribed completely hydrolysed milk and she doesn't like it. How can i make her accept it :)

[@AskDoctorAmy]

@@sunShine-lo4xg the taste can definitely be tricky! You can transition her slowly with just a third of the bottle being the new milk, and gradually increasing that ratio over a few days.

My two child have CMPA. They are having hypoallergenic formula right now. But I am worried why they are facing problem with hemoglobin.

[@allisonrodriguez1834]

My son's pediatrician has recommended I trial dairy elimination. My son gets very gassy/distended and fussy.

What are your thoughts on Goats Milk formula for CMPI ?

[@BioBalkis]

Great video thank you! Please don't use background music it's distracting

[@NLJ3167]

Yes 💯 distracting

[@ShelbyZager95]

I don’t think mentally I can wait 4-6 weeks😭

[@Justjenn14373]

Me either. Did you do it or did you switch to formula?

[@barbietim2462]

How about using goat milk based formula? I have read that it has a lower ratio of casein like that of breast milk. Such as Kendamil goat milk. My daughter won't take the nutramigen because of the taste and smell. She is breastfed. I am thinking of using goat milk instead.

[@derekmccloud]

This is good advice. I think I prefer the advice without the background music. Or make the background music much softer. 😊

[@carebear93100]

What about for a baby with CmA and soy allergy ? My poor baby is struggling with gas, stomach pains, fussiness.

[@AskDoctorAmy]

Yes, cow's milk protein symptoms often have a cross-reaction with soy, meaning a baby who is sensitive to one is likely to be sensitive to the other.

[@learnnrise6595]

My baby has milk allergy and egg white allergy so shall I also stop these things being a breast feed mother

[@akcanja3550]

How about similac tummircare?

[@daisy5004]

My baby is on Similac Alimentum and has been for a little over 2 months now. It seemed like her symptoms were improving (fussiness,gas, colic-like symptoms) but in the past few weeks I feel like we are back at square one. She has trouble passing gas, has acid reflux/spits up excessively after every feeding despite different at home remedies, grunts and squirms around a lot which is disrupting her sleep and also her stools have become less frequent. Her doctor doesn’t seem to think much of it since she is gaining weight but I know my baby is in discomfort. Do you have any suggestions?

[@Hjortasmr]

Hi dear, your situation sounds exactly like mine. Our poor babies need answers! Did you find a solution? How’s your little one now?

[@nancyfischer4875]

My baby is doing the same thing‼️‼️‼️ It makes her gassy and it chokes baby to the point she can’t breathe 😩 I have been asking the doctor for help not getting much I’m getting very frustrated and don’t know what else to do

[@shargalsehsey7022]

I would recommend you change the formula to neocate my son had the same problems and after changing many many dairy free formulas neocate was the best and if u have an insurance they might cover the cost

[@nehapuri3787]

Ma'am, how do we come to know that baby's cow milk allergy is gone? How long the mother should avoid dairy products if she is breastfeeding? Please tell

[@frozanmashal2524]

Cows milk is god or formula milk?

[@wardahnaim363]

I'm on my 3rd kid and all of them had CMPA. However, with my 3rd baby, We are also dealing with a soy allergy which has made breast feeding incredibly challenging. We switched to alimentum (my firstborn did well on it), but the mucus in his poop was not subsiding. We eventually switched to puramino and cut out breast milk entirely despite being pretty confident that my milk was dairy and soy free. It's been over 1 week on the puramino strictly, but there's still mucus in the poop. I worry that using and amino acid bases formula would affect baby's chances of overcoming the CMPA. My eldest is 7 years old now and still allergic to dairy, although he can tolerate in certain forms to an extent (I.e. cooked yogurt). He was strictly formula fed with alimentum at 6 weeks. With my second, I was able to nurse him by maintaining a dairy free diet. He got over the allergy by age 1. I wonder if hypoallergenic formula affects chances of overcoming the allergy.

[@annierosetequin6603]

I hope I'd known it earlier that the milk that I consumed affect my milk too since my baby diagnosed with cow's milk intolerance She's 8 months old still breastfeeding and I have milk stash too ( what I will do with those 😂) Is seems too late for me but start tomorrow I will remove those product in my diet Thanks for this information Dr It is very helpful

[@AskDoctorAmy]

I totally know what you mean. It's so common but frequently under-diagnosed. You are definitely not alone there. Inflammation is accumulative, and it's never too late :). Cheering you on!

[@AskDoctorAmy]

@Melanie G great idea! This really helps out many NICU families very much.

[@meq747]

Hi dr. Can we use formula for my new born baby, its called primilac CMA

[@saravillatoro8645]

Can I try the formulas with partially hydrolyzed for exclusively breastfeed baby or is partially hydrolyzed more recommended for formula fed babies ?

[@CrestinaLeung-kv4cg]

Thank you so much for this. My baby’s pediatrician did mention the cow’s milk allergy but never really explained it to me and my husband. So having you explained it so well here is huge help. Thank you so much

[@dawnthelabel3152]

Tried giving my baby gentle ease and other partially hydrolized milk but my baby still reacts to it. Can I give my baby soy milk formula instead of amino acid based formula?

[@saraswatkin9226]

Always boil cows milk first and let it cool before giving it to baby. Colic is the first sign of cow milk allergy. All formula milk is cows milk. Try diluted milk if you think it's allergy. Alternatively try goats milk as protein is more digestible. Consult a doctor if colic is persistent as it may be problems with breathing and sucking at the same time or sinus problems. People have sinus problems for various reasons Dill or mint water helps with colic even for adults. Breast milk is ideal for human babies.

[@TracyJordan2122]

So based on your other video explaining the difference, if baby has an allergy, could you still eat foods with some whey in it but avoid all casein?

[@Leci1877]

I’m lactose intolerant and get really bad gas and runs from milk + cheese 🧀 and when I eat these things my breastfed baby also gets gas but I ❤️ 🧀 and and so does my baby so I guess we just deal with it

[@LilianaRamirez-yf4mf]

Thank you so much for explaining this. Dr just gave us the diagnosis, hypoallergenic formula samples and sent us on our way. Didn’t explain anything at all.

[@conradlaparoscopichpbforum6533]

Very educational video. I learned a lot.

[@AskDoctorAmy]

The learning never stops ;)

syphilis from dog/animals causes milk/dairy allergy

[@fy193]

Can I mix my 4 months baby with cows milk formula and lactose free formula milk?

[@misstracishouse]

I am pregnant with twins due within the next 8 weeks. I have two daughters already that both had CMPA. Thank you for this video! I have been struggling with the idea of giving up dairy now so when the twins are born, I can pump and hopefully avoid a reaction in the very beginning!

[@iceFantasySong]

It's mean this come from parents. Maybe you or your husband allergic to milk with mild symptoms

[@nicholetsosie900]

Thoughts between Enfamil Nutrimigen vs Similac Alimentum? Please

[@akcanja3550]

My baby has cow's milk allergy, we tried enfamil and similac and she had reactions. Nutramigen works but my baby doesn't like the taste. 😢

[@MarieAlvaleaf]

Thank you so much for explaining the science behind cma and the solutions for it. I feel much more equipped to choose the best formula for my baby.

[@lifeisgreatx6722]

I love your videos very informative:)

[@laurenp3548]

Thank you so much for your videos! I have been researching this topic for my 5 month old struggling with eczema, gassiness, and colic. I have attempted to give up dairy before but did not know it could take up to 6 weeks! This information has been super helpful. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks!

[@tracytownsend3850]

Thank you so much for this video! Super helpful

[@AskDoctorAmy]

🙏 so glad to hear that from a fellow creator! ;)

[@rhonadonasco3862]

Doc thanks alot for your video...it is very Informative... Doc, is similac tummycare hw 0-12 is good for my who has signs symptoms of milk protien allergy? Hoping for your response...thanl you and Godbless

[@Maggie-zb7gx]

My baby does best without dairy in my diet. Seen this clearly when I cut it out. Hard cheeses don't have such a heavy effect. I ate cream cheese recently and all symptoms came back after a few nursing sessions. Either way-breast is best and we will get through this together.

[@denisefino180]

Hello dr. and thank you for making this video. My 11 month old has a cows milk allergy. Therefore we decided to breastfeed. Until about 2 weeks ago my milk production has decreased drastically. There have been many changes in the family including my nocturnal job. At this time breastfeeding has become very stressful and I am desperately seeking a solution. In the Earlier months 2-6 we introduce an European formula. However the eczema was still pretty bad. Her dr doesn’t seem understand to how stressful it has become? We also tried goats milk and she hated it.

[@denisefino180]

At this point in time I am so desperate for a solution. I am mentally and physically exhausted due to work and just being. Mommy of two under 2. Please. Any suggestions? She’s eating 3 solid meals a day with on demand latching but I’m only producing about 1-2 ox every 5 hours

[@denisefino180]

Help!!!!!

[@rebeccachace7816]

@DeniseFino question my so is alot older now didn't suspect this when he was younger and was gonna change formula but he ended up ending it shortly after and it got drastically better and now this fits and had allergy test was allergic to cows milk but very small and also had a rash that all over that looks like hives and had for over year some moments worst than others almost and he also has excema but docs don't think the rash is that but viral but they honestly don't know. So I was wondering how you baby excema gets does it get like that?

[@MJ31579]

Soy milk formula?
