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...)
