ANOTHER Hives question

[Deleted]

Could the hives be caused by us switching to Whole Milk? He has been on formula from day one and he is fine with yogurt, cheese ect....

Sometimes babies can do fine with cow based formulas, because the proteins are broken down, but not do so great with straight milk. If it is an issue with the proteins he likely just needs more time for his gut to mature before he can have it. If it is a lactose issue Lactaid milk may work.

Thank you! I feel so horrible. He has been breaking out in hives for the past 4 days. Im gonna call the dr this morn and discuss options but this makes sense.
