Can Celerac Be Included In The Diet In Place Of Cows Milk?
My son has a cows milk protein intolerance. However he seems to be able to tolerate few amounts . He normally has eczema and in worst cases diarrhea. I gave up drinking milk when I was breastfeeding but not yoghurt or butter. I consumed in great qualities too. Now he is a bit on the smaller side on the 9th centile and I was wondering if I can introduce cerelac into his diet... most cerelac contains skimmed milk powder at least 21%. My son in 8 months now but only 7.5 kg. He was born on the 75th centile.

Hello,
Cerelac can be used instead of cows milk. In face cerelac is better tolerated than cows milk because for most of the kids there won’t be any enzymes required for digestion of cows milk and thus cerelac will be better tolerated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
