Cow's milk free baby porridge

Hi, ladies!

Those of who who's little ones has/had cow's milk allergy, what baby porridge did you use? My little one is on a prescription formula for cow's milk allergy. I've gone through I think all the baby porridges available in supermarkets, and all of them have dairy/milk.
Also, anyone can advice on dairy free pouches. I feel like the choice is so little, yet I want her to variety of foods. I know there are lots of veggies/fruits available, but I'm more after pouches such as beef lasagna, cheesy bake etc, just dairy free.

Thank you in advance.

There are loads of dairy free ones, we used various cow & Gate's, Organix, Aptamil porridges etc (it's mainly the fruity ones) or just regular porridge. As long as the ingredients list doesn't state dairy in any shape or form, then they're usually good. Don't limit yourself to only things that are dairy-free and also don't have a 'may contain' label. This label is not a legal requirement. Many things may be may contain but don't state and others may state but have next to no risk of actually containing dairy. All this means is that the product has been made in an environment that handles dairy as well. It's not an ingredient of the recipe but it MAY have gotten it during manufacturing or packaging as something with dairy was handled by the machine before. If you have dairy in your home, then everything there is 'may contain'. My son switched to Pepti at 7 weeks, he's 15 months now, and we've only had cross contamination once at a restaurant.

Ella's Kitchen, Tesco's own, Asda's own, Heinz, basically all the pouch brands have some dairyfree ones you just have to check the back of each and every one of them as many won't specifically state that they're dairy-free x

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
