What are possible remedies for cow’s milk-protein allergy?

Avoid introducing formula within the first three months, and continue breastfeeding for as long as possible, ideally for at least six months.

• If breastfeeding, remove all dairy products from your own diet, and any other foods that are allergenic.
• If formula-feeding, change to a goats’ milk formula or hydrolysed hypoallergenic formula, or soy-based formula (but many infants are also allergic to this). It is trial and error.
• Try antihistamine medications (natural or pharmaceutical).
• Make the baby’s diet dairy-free once it is on solids (but a cows’ milk protein allergy usually means an infant can still eat beef).
• Put a hot-water bottle or heated wheat bag wrapped in a hand towel or cloth nappy, on baby’s tummy.
• Offer a relaxing pacifier for baby to suckle on to aid digestion.
• Consider having baby’s constitution analysed by a classical homeopath.
• Consider having baby’s well being checked by a medical herbalist.
• Half or more of CMPA infants go on to develop other hyposensitivity intolerances, such as allergies to soy, eggs, peanuts, citrus fruit and/or inhaled allergens such as pollen.
