Hello Wise Ones,
 
Mom with chronic milk supply issues, had a freezer full of donated milk  
which she had to give away since baby couldn't'tolerate the dairy in the  
donations ( nor her, either, of course),baby with multiple issues, released  
tongue tie, severe eczema, reflux, is seeing local breastfeeding medicine  
specialist, pediatrician, and allergist, and has now been talking to a  
'traditional foods' person, who suggested a liver-based homemade formula. I am  not 
knowledgeable enough to know whether this is a good option ( especially  
since the ingredients and the digestive enzymes and probiotics this person is  
recommending/selling are expensive and this mom constantly borders on being  
completely overwhelmed. This her second child, severe, deathly allergy 
issues  with 3 year old as well as the new 3 month old to monitor.She cannot 
even really  maintain her diet to do an elimination trial over more than a few 
weeks or  so...)
Wonder if anyone has thoughts on this:
