Hi mummies, I suspect my baby is having formula milk & soy intolerance.

My baby is 7months old turning 8months soon and has been exclusively breastfed. My breast milk stash is about to run out, but our next appointment with a specialist is a month away. My baby is suspected to have an intolerance to both formula milk and soy, and I'm worried about what to feed him in the meantime. I mix fed my baby with formula & breastmilk but he vomited 3-4 hours after drinking each time. (I’ve tried three different brands it’s the same reaction every time) Since he has started solids I gave him tofu as a finger food, and he vomited and had diarrhoea. Has anyone been in a similar situation? What formula did your pediatrician recommend? Any advice on a good temporary solution would be so helpful. Thanks in advance!

Usually paeds recommend hypoallergenic formula instead of regular or soy formula if baby reacts like this. Maybe can try calling your paed clinic first instead of waiting a whole month in case they can advise earlier. In the meantime I’d probably avoid tofu or soy too since he reacted already. Hope your little one feels better soon!
