Advice on weaning from LF milk

[OJ30]

Hi
Our 7mo lo was diagnosed with secondary lactose intolerance approximately 2 1/2 months ago.  We saw a specialist who advised we give him SMA LF formula on prescription for 2 months and then gradually wean him off this back onto formula containing lactose.  We were advised to try this ounce by ounce so I have made up 8 oz bottles with 7 ounces of LF formula and 1 oz of his regular formula.  If this is then successful with no recurrence of symptoms then we are to up it to 2 ounces etc.

My question is how long do I need to stick with 1 oz with before we move on to 2 oz?  24 hours or longer?  Three days?  Does anyone have experience of this?  I really hope this is now the end of this as I am so tired of looking so carefully at packets and jars of baby food to see the ingredients.  Although I make most of his food myself, I have had to omit all dairy products from recipes!

Thanks in advance.

Hiya Jo, if it was me, i would personally give it 2/3 days but thats with no experience of this at all. Just thinking when you introduce new foods you do a new one every 2/3 days so maybe this would be the case?  Im sure someone with experience will know, just what I would do.....

Im not stalking your posts honest LOL! xxxxxxxxx

Hi and many thanks.  We have successfully managed to get to the majority of formula being his old regular one with only 2 ounces of LF milk.  So far so good!  We will continue to take it very slowly.
