Anyone's LOs with dairy intolerance?

If your LO has a dairy intolerance how and when do you plan on introducing WCM? DS is on soy formula. I want to start giving him some WCM at meals in his sippy soon. He has had cheese and yogurt and seems to be ok with it now. Do I just give him WCM and stick with soy formula or should I try giving milk based formula first before starting WCM?

    I would try mixing in a milk based formula before switching over so start with 1oz milk based the rest soy and slowly do the transition

    This!

    My LO has milk allergy, not intolerance, so I'm not sure what we'll do.Scary...

    I would try a milk based formula first.  My DD has a milk and soy allergy.  She had an allergy appointment at 6 months and I was told I could try to reintroduce milk and see what happens.  We gave one bottle and it was an instant rejection (vomiting within 20 minutes and diarrhea for 3 days).  We haven't tried again due to other feeding issues, but I think you'll know fairly quickly if your LO is still intolerant. 

    If you try it I would get a package of the "on the go" formula packets so you don't waste a whole can of formula if it doesn't work out.  Good luck!

    if lo is on soy now I would go with soy milk. My son is lactose he couldn't do whole or soy. we started switching him at 11 1/2 months and he is thriving on lactose free milk. ( my son is allergic to soy.)

    It can take up to 3 yrs for the intolerance to go away.  Better off waiting bc the more you give them too soon, the more it aggrivates the intestines and each time they flare up, the more the body rejects it.  We will probably do coconut and almond milk with DD but she's still nursing so no need yet.  Straight cow milk has a much higher rate of reaction than things like cheese and yogurt so that in itself isn't necessarily an indicator.  Using daily probiotics will heal the intestines quicker and can speed up the process.  I went dairy free to accomodate DD while nursing and I'm much happier/healthier without.  WCM is recommended for fats and calcium but you can find much easier to assimilate calcium in many green veggies and most milk alternatives have it added in.  We buy organic OJ w calcium too.  Watch for other signs of intolerance when introducing besides the obv vomiting and gassiness:  any unexplained rashes, eczema, acne, thick mucous or constant allaergy symptoms are signs of a food reaction that are quite often associated with dairy.
