I don't have two, and didn't go through it, but if you feel like it will be too much (things ARE different now....) then formula is really ok too

Re: moms of 2 re: milk soy protein intolerence

#1 didn't but #2 did.

I spotted blood in Eliza's diaper when she was 5 months old and rushed her to the allergist. Her older sister has a very severe dairy allergy that is still lingering at almost 3 years old.

Turns out Eliza has no allergy to dairy and as far as we know, nothing else (whereas Mads is allergic to dairy, egg whites <unless in baked goods>, and beef).

It is possible to have one with and one without.

thanks!

i hope it is negative.

not against the actual formula at all...just the freaking price! last time we priced it out, 700 a month.

So far <knock on wood> DD#2 seems to be in the clear and she's already older then when I discovered DD#1 milk allergy although last week I did notice some small patches of eczema but they seem to be better with OTC cream while DD#1 only responded to steriod cream.

Re: moms of 2 re: milk soy protein intolerence

thanks all!
now just waiting for the little darling to poop!

Re: moms of 2 re: milk soy protein intolerence

Janice- If it does come to it, let me know as well. I used to approve/deny those claims/requests when I worked in insurance...I can help you appeal it all the way to the top. If not covered, it wont help but the more who appeal, the sooner insurance WILL start to cover it.

Most insurances wont cover the Alimentum type formulas ( some do though)....but MANY will cover Elecare/Neocate as its really RX only.

Good luck.

I HOPE that its not a true allergy!!!
