Allergy Fear

I am pregnant with LO #3
When I had LO #2 I didn't know that LO#1 was going to be diagnosed with severe food allergies. It took years of going back over what we had given our daughter to set her off as she grew up. I remember back 5 years ago when I walked past the infant formula isle and stopped dead in my tracks....I started reading all the cans, we had been giving my daughter the allergen since birth =( I was heartbroken.
So fast forward to LO #3, I am scared to death (Now that I know) that he/she will have the same problems and not be able to eat. I can not breastfeed, lets just say my boobs are broken. I would love to if I medical could but I can not =(
As it gets closer I will have to do diligent research to see if all of them still contain corn products....not sure what we are going to do!
Thanks for letting me freak.
Re: Allergy Fear
I'm sorry you are so nervous. It's understandable though.
We are not dealing with a corn allergy, but a friend is (as well as milk and soy)and I do not believe the Alimentum Ready To Feed formula contains corn (powdered does).
Never even heard of Alimentum, but then again its been 10 years since my last baby!
I looked up Enfamil the new newborn formula and it looks ok, will need to research the rest!
Of my three DD only one has severe food allergies. There is a higher chance if you have one kid with allergies the others will too. But in my case at least it has skipped my other two.
Good luck!
