WCM, again

Nita2603

So, I have now mixed wcm into Big A's bottles for maybe two weeks. Not much, about 8 oz a day.
Well, his eczema is back. I will discuss with the doc but wdyt? Alternative milk? Cannot do almond milk because of my allergies. Sigh.

I would try alternative milk. Abby liked coconut milk.

Can't do that either, allergic to nuts. What's left, rice or soy?

I think that Crystal uses (or used) hemp milk.  I'm personally leary of too much soy.  Ugh, I'm sorry that you are dealing with this.

Coconut isn't a nut. MH is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts as well as several types of fruit but can do coconut milk.

Interesting!  MH is allergic to tree nuts (not peanuts, though, they are a legume) and the smell of coconut makes him nauseated. I just assumed that they were a tree nut as well.

Thanks ladies. Yeah not a fan of too much soy either. Hemp I didn't even think of. We'll see what the doc thinks. The other possibility is to cut back and give him straight breastmilk.
I have about 30 oz for him a day. But his fangs seem to come in and he has decided to rather drink than eat and has upped his intake soooo much that I cannot keep up.

I am allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, almonds, coconuts, pine nuts, pistatios.... You name it. They may not be a nut but my body doesn't seem to know. Or care.
