Weaning lapse

We were doing really well with weaning and I'd got into a great routine with my boy. He'd have 3-4 bottles a day (roughly 22-30oz a day) plus 3 meals, snacks and water.

Questions about formula

I was finally taken seriously by a GP (🥳) who diagnosed our little girl with non IgE cow's milk allergy with a possibility of lactose intolerance on top of it.
