DD is 8 months old and I'm wondering when I should trial dairy. She has reflux which is under control with medication and is on Neocate. About a month and a half ago I tried half Neocate and half Nutramigen and her reflux flared. So I'm wondering what I should use to do a dairy trial. Cheese? Yogurt? and when should I try it? Any suggestions?

You can try her on yoghurt at 9 months - just a small spoonful at first.
Make sure she isn't teething or unwell at the same time though!
I'm not trialing DS until 12 months as he has a severe reaction to milk protein - instant hives, vomiting, then eczema and reflux flares :(

Hi, If she reacted to a small about of Nutrmaigen 6 weeks ago I wold def wait till at least 2 months to try direct dairy. She must be very senitive to milk proteins to react to Nutramigen. Just MHO though xx

I was thinking that too. The funny thing was she was ok on Nutramigen for 6 months. I guess the total absence of the milk protein has healed her gut so much that even the broken down Nutramigen was too much. When I do the trial would a teaspoon of yogurt as pp suggested be the best course? I wasn't sure whether the Cheese or yogurt has less of the milk protein in it.

Yoghurt has the least protein and it's partially broken down, so it's the best trial food :)

Great. I'll try that when the time comes.
