what can i fill him up on?

ok so im abit lost on what to do :(

jett had no allergys at all untill he had a massive reaction to the preservative they changed in the heinz gold 2 formula in june and ended up in hospital.

since then he developed a wholemilk protien allergy
and the toddler drinks/normal milk/ yoghurt/ custard anything with whole milk pretty much makes him so grumpy and tears the skin off his poor bum so its red raw , weeping and bleeding and the hospital has to dress it with burn dressings its that bad.

so he drinks water no probs,
but . .
the only thing that fills him up for bed it his bottle hes still on heinz nurture 2 as its the ONLY formula he hasnt reacted to as aparently the nutritionist i spoke to said the protien levels are lower in it than others.

so how am i ever going to cut out the formula?
he is a huge eater
but if he doesnt havehis bottle b4 bed he wakes up about 3-4 times
but with it he sleeps thru.

we tried soy milk etc but . . .
due to my severe hypermesesis m/s with sarah the tinyist smell of soy milk or soy formula anything soy even near me or on jett makes me hurl

So am I right that you've found one formula that he is OK with? If that's the case, then I'd say keep him on it for however long he needs the stuff! Due to being completely dairy-free Ella is still on her formula at 2 yrs old - she has a bottle before bed (which yes, I'd much prefer to be a sippy cup with dinner, but we fought that battle and lost so far), and has a big serving of it as the 'milk' with her weetbix each morning. Formula's enriched with all sorts of goodness and is pretty well-balanced. There is rice milk but it's low in calories. If he weren't able to have any off-the-shelf formula's, I'd say see a Paed about it and ask for a prescription one, but being able to use a 'normal' one is far more convenient if you can do it. You could always add extra protein to his diet if you're worried about that and if he'll eat it. Good luck!

thanks ladies , ill just stick with the formula then :)

i found the soy yoghurt 2day, so relieved it didnt smell like soy!
so will try him with a bit of that tomorrow and fingers crossed theres no reaction,
