Anyone Feeding Her Baby with Formula Wirhout Corn Syrup?

If you are still producing any amount of breastmilk it may not be too late to induce lactation again. If he is allergic to milk proteing and has eczema and sounds like he has asthma too then human milk is necessary more than ever! I can't believe that your ped or GI doc hasn't mentioned this. I would try to start latching him on or finding someone to donate milk for your baby. Good luck and I hope he feels better soon.

If you want to make a change than do it. But I wanted to let you know that my daughter is also allergic to the cows protein and it did take about 2 weeks for all her symptoms to go away. It just takes awhile for everything to get out of her system.

Take him for NAET treatment so you can locate what his exact allergies are and eliminate them for life. Check out drfergang.com she is in Weston and provides a free consultation. Food allergies lead to all kinds of problems later on. Remember tummy time 4x a day for 30 mins each time to strengthen abdominal muscles and build a core.

If your gut feeling is saying it's the corn syrup then change his formula to one that does not have it in. I am from England and we don't use corn syrup in anything , it is in everything here!...I used formula for my first 2 kids who were born in England and we have no corn syrup in it. I even noticed the other day that corn syrup is in coca cola....it's a world wide product so why can't the recipe be the same world over?!!

My feelings are aligned with the other suggestion to try and get your milk production up and breast feed instead. Contact La Leche League and see if they can turn you on to some good suggestions. You can get a good pump and keep at it every day and it will get your milk to come back in. I don't know if this goes without saying but make sure you're not consuming any cow products either as it will go into your milk. Humans simply aren't intended to consume the milk of a cow because we're not cows.

There is a difference between corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup (more concentrated and more processed). I am not a particular fan of either, but corn syrup is a good source of calories in baby formula. While it could be corn syrup, it does take at least two weeks for cow's protein to clear from your system. If your baby is taking any other solids you need to clear the ingredients for any type of milk solids, casein, etc.

You will likely not find a formula that isn't based on corn syrup. That is the solids they use to base all formula's on.
If he's having issues with formula, look into breastmilk donation. Its likely the only thing you will find thats not synthetic, not based on corn syrup solids.

I have done a lot of research on this myself.. And it seems like the only option left for dairy/corn reaction is to make your own formula :-(

I'm shocked because one if the reasons why they say pop (cola, pepsi etc) is bad because they put corn syrup in it. What is it doing in formula?! For babies!! Unbelievable!

I am not familiar with the formulas available today, but agree with you that it would be a good idea to try to avoid the corn syrup. Our adult daughter discovered several years ago that corn syrup was the cause of extreme bouts of itchy blotches on her body, and we have since then begun eliminating products containing "high fructose corn syrup" from all our diets. When you begin looking for products that don't have it in them, it's surprising how difficult a task that is. I think my real 'wake up' to how prevalant it is in our foods was the day I picked up a box of saltine crackers and found it as an ingredient in them.
I wish you success in finding a good formula with more natural ingredients for your child.

Can you nurse? No corn syrup!
best, k

it is not a suprise that he is allergic to the cows protien. In reality, it is meant for baby cows, not humans. Dairy causese phlehm and mucus no matter what your age. my son had a simliar reaction except he would scream for hours. We switched to nutrimagen and in 12 hours he was a different baby. He is almost 5 months and tried the dairy again with no luck. so it goes...

I imagine it is almost impossible in our society to find something not made from corn, but if you do please post what you find!!

this is my business- reflux- and I know that is can be related to MSPI (milk/soy protein intolernance/allergy)

you're close enought that you could be a client, so keep me in mind for your friends, lol!

anyway: listen to your instincts. YES it CAN be the corn. it is NOT UNUSUAL. try ROSS formulas, work w/ a nutritionist, call ROSS- there is something you can use that uses rice syrup. now, if rice is a problem, I'm not sure what comes next, but there ARE answers.

if baby has not been on neocate for a good TWO WEEKS, then you need to give it two weeks...
