Hungrier baby formula (hungry milk) is suitable from birth, but ask a midwife or health visitor for advice first. Oat allergy is not uncommon in children so do check on cereal packets and other food stuffs which could contain oats in the meantime and avoid them until your speak to your GP or a dietician about this. Formula milk, also known as baby formula or infant formula, is usually made from cows' milk that has been treated to make it more suitable for babies. my DS now 22 months hasn't outgrown his intolerance yet and when he had accidentally eaten dairy products he gets skin reaction as well as gastrointestinal symptoms . Some manufacturers of anti-reflux formula recommend making it up at lower temperatures than are usually recommended.

Don't worry about your child not eating enough - weaning should be more about trying things out rather than nutrition. I did find one of the organic porridges (I think it was Plum but can't remember 100% now) that had no powdered milk in and she was fine with that. Strangely she seems to love spinach so reckon she's going to end up looking like popeye ;-) Bit of a strange breakfast though and end up with green everywhere!
