My little man in 4 months old, we have been on Similac Allimentum since he was about 10 weeks old due to a possible intolerance to milk and soy. He has always been a "puker", dr. suspected reflux, but I'm suspecting more of an allergy as we dive further into other things. I recently tried introducing Rice cereal, that didn't work out. I also tried introducing Oatmeal, same reaction, but worse. Reactions were an extreme flare up with his eczema, and a more intense "puker". I took him for his check up yesterday and the dr. was willing to run blood work for allergies. I just want answers. Drawing blood from a 4 month old...worst experience ever! I have no idea how long those results will take to come back. We adopted him so the most info I have is that his birthmom is allergic to penicillin, and he has a birth sister with asthma. Once I know results of allergy test, I'm hoping I can explore some more on what cereals or foods I can give him. The boy wants to eat!

Sounds like my son. He's 15 months and has a positive allergy test to dairy, beef and potato. At 6 months old we started him on veggie purées, worked our way up to fruits and then to the mixed food purées. If he does have a dairy allergy, be careful of hidden milk ingredients (whey, casein etc) & items marked that they are manufactured on machinery that also processes dairy (if allergy is severe- our son reacts to this as well). I hope the bloodwork gives you answers. If it comes back positive for an allergy, it's overwhelming at first but there are so many options these days that it is manageable with research good luck mama!
