The CMPA (Cow Milk Protein Allergy) Episode with Dr. Milobsky, MD

Who teaches us what to do when we know something is wrong with our baby, but we don’t know what? When Nelle was struggling, figuring out that she had cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA)—and then finding the formula that finally gave her relief—felt like jumping through hoop after hoop while questioning myself the entire time. In this episode, I sit down with pediatrician Dr. Michael Milobsky to talk about CMPA, how it can look like colic, the formula options available, and how parents can advocate for answers when their baby is uncomfortable. We also talk about our own experience with Nelle, why Neocate ultimately worked for her, and what I wish I’d known when we were in the thick of it. — In this episode: - The difference between colic and cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) - Signs and symptoms worth discussing with your pediatrician - How to talk to your doctor if you suspect CMPA - The benefits of extensively hydrolyzed (eHF) and amino acid-based formulas - The difference between Pepticate and Neocate formulas - How our family ultimately found the right formula for Nelle — This episode is in partnership with Nutricia, makers of Pepticate and Neocate. — 📺 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@lobosworth 📖 Newsletter: https://substack.com/@lobosworth 🛍️ Love Wellness: https://lovewellness.com 📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lobosworth 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lobosworth — Tell Me I'm a Good Mom is part of the Dear Media podcast network.
