In Spain, Germany, France and most other European countries there is a no-
milk, no-soy formula available (made of simple aminoacids, mainly from meat)
called PREGOMIN. It's made by MILUPA. And it's not sweet, believe me :-(
The only problem is getting the baby to drink it, and paying for it if
your insurance doesn't cover it. My 2 year old has been on it since he was
6 months and still is  I am a little concerned that maybe he could get mad
cow's disease from it, as the label says "collagen" and I think this comes
from the cow's bones. Something else to worry about...
