Hi, My son has eczema since 2 months old when he started taking ordinary formula milk. The pediatrician prescribe to switch to Nestle NAN H.A.special formula for Hypoallergenic. The eczema is very much in control now. NAN H.A is for infant below 12 months old. My son is 12 months old now. I couldn't find other H.A. product in the market for kids more then 1 years old. If my son continue taking NAN H.A., will he gets nutrition imbalance. > NAN H.A is for infant below 12 months old. My son is 12 months old > now.

Ask your doctor if Nutramigen or Alimentum would be appropriate. Allergic infants often tolerate those. Joan Hi - By the age of 12 months, most babies are eating enough solids to stop taking formula completely. Does your baby eat a variety of solids? When you wean a baby (whether from the breast or from formula) you wean TO a healthy variety of solids. Your baby, apparently, should NOT include milk products among his solids. And that's fine. Just keep an eye on his calcium intake (soy is a good calcium source, also enriched juices or enriched rice milk and some nuts and green veggies). Milk is also a common source of protein, but that's much easier to get from other foods. My web site has information that you might find helpful, along with links to other sources of information such as the invaluable no-milk listserv. --Beth Kevles bethkevles@aol.com http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice.
