For those with LO's with a milk protein allergy....What symptoms did they show? My husband and I are pretty sure our son has a milk protein allergy. We are feeding him a combination of breast milk (both expressed and straight breastfeeding) and formula. We have gone through a variety of formulas to see what would work for our son. Our last formulas we tried were the Similac spit-up bc he spits up all the dang time and the Similac for fussiness and gas. Both did nothing. He had several days where he would be screaming in pain. Especially at night.

When I was an infant, I also had a milk protein allergy, and I heard it is genetic, so I figure it makes sense.

A few days ago, we bought some Alimentum to see if it would make a difference. Within 24 hours, we began to see that he was a much calmer baby. We aren't sure if it is just a coincidence, but if Alimentum is our answer, we will be relieved.

Of course I will be making an appointment at the peds tomorrow to see if we can get a diagnosis, but I would love to hear from other mommies that have lo's with the same issues. Thank you all in advance!
