Next step for baby that is milk/soy intolerant?

There's a lot of myths around the suitability of goat's milk for those with intolerances or allergies to cows' milk and sadly some medical professionals buy into these. Research has shown that the majority of those who are allergic to the protein in cows' milk or intolerant to the lactose will have the same problem with goats' milk and in some cases the reaction to goats' milk can be even more severe xx

Yeah I agree, I'd be careful with goats milk too.
OH told me his friends kid has allergy to cows milk and drinks goats milk fine so I tried it on my son and he reacted the exact same way he would react to cows milk x

had been thinking of writing this myself! lo is one in 5 weeks and I want to start cutting down her bf's as she still feeds a lot and its getting wearing.

I was thinking of alternating and giving some coconut milk, some oat and some almond! any advice on how to intro it tho! do I just start giving her a cup of milk with a meal/snack and increase from there?

What happens is a lot of people think their child has an allergy to cows' milk when they don't, then when they seem ok with the goats' milk (or Sheeps' milk or raw cows' milk) they then think these other types if milk were the solution. In reality their baby or child was probably reacting to something else in their diet other than milk to start with. My second youngest came out in terrible eczema from goats' milk, so bad it caused scars. He gets itchy from cows' milk but nowhere near that bad xx
