We transitioned from Neocate formula to Neocate Splash at 1 year old. It was also hypoallergenic. For full disclosure, I also nursed so he wasn't exclusively formula fed. He started refusing the formula personally. They also have a toddler formula but I felt it had a lot more sugar in it.

@Crumbs: My son preferred Splash (they are like juice box size) to the formula. We stuck with Neocate but I believe alumentum and Nestle also have alternatives.

My daughter developed her dairy allergy at the age of 8 months (somewhere around there) and it was discovered when she had rice cereal (skim milk powder is the second listed ingredient). Anyway, since then, she hasn't had any form of milk. She hates soy, almond, and rice milk and refuses it. She eats soy yogurt, though.

Anyway, I, too, was concerned about her not drinking milk and of calcium intake but her ped and allergist both assured me that as long as she's eating a wide variety of foods, she will be getting enough calcium. My daughter is now 2 years old and is super healthy!

M is MPI and on nutramigen. She is 10 months and at our GI appointment today we got the go-ahead to try yogurt at 11 months and whole milk 3 weeks later. Fingers crossed!

The GI doc did say that it was no big deal for her to stay on the regular nutramigen formula for a few months after 1 if she doesn't tolerate cows milk. I'm not sure if our insurance would continue to cover it.
