Hello!
I am new to this board and looking for some advice. DD is 9 months old. Since 3 months we have been dealing with food allergy issues. I am BFing and Since 5 months I have been on super restricted diet and have had almost zero success in adding things into my diet or DD's diet. We had appointment with Ped GI Dr. yesterday (we have been seeing him since December). Up until this point DD's weight gain, etc has been fine. This time she is falling way behind and DR is concerned. She is far behind in her # of foods she is exposed to directly and only getting further behind because we have to worry both with what Mommy is eating and what DD is eating. ANYWAY, Dr wants us to try to wean to Elecare (Hypoallergenic formula). It is awful stuff! I am looking for advice on how to make this transition. Anyone out there who has done this before?The DRs suggestion is to expose her to it about 15 to 20 times and then go cold turkey. To be honest, I'm pretty scared about that! The poor little thing! I have mixed her cereal with some yesterday-- She took it OK-- I gave her a little in a cup again today. She took some, but obviously wasn't thrilled about it.
Any help would be appreciated!
