Hi there,  
 
Looking for any parents in Westman who have had a child with cows milk protein allergy. What signs did your baby have? What formula did you feed your baby, if formula fed. Did your child outgrow it?  
 
Any info is appreciated.  
 
TIA

Is what my sister used for her daughter.

I had it as a baby, and both my kids did as well. In all cases breastfeeding with the mom fully restricting cow milk and cow milk products worked like a charm. My kids got the occasional bottle of formula and we chose a soy-based formula that had no cow protein.  
 
In all cases, we kind of outgrew it. Me and my eldest less so - neither one of us can have unaltered cow milk, but do okay with some aged cheese and yogurts. My youngest sucks back the milk like it's going out of style.

My son had a milk protein allergy. I attempted to remove dairy from my diet at first so I could continue breastfeeding but it didn’t make a difference so we ultimately switched him full time to Nutramigen formula.  
 
The symptoms my son had was being incredibly fussy, seemed to have gas or constant stomach pains, and blood in stool. After the first sign of blood we took him to his Paediatrician and was told it was a milk allergy.  
 
At 9 months he was sent to Winnipeg for allergy testing at the Paediatric asthma and allergy clinic and the test came back that he was not allergic. We kept him on the Nutramigen formula until he was fully eating solids and slowly transitioned him to homo milk after 12 months for morning and evening bottles. He now has zero issues with dairy.
