milk protein allergy moms-transitioning to cow"s milk and changes in behavior?

we just started transitioning noah to cow's milk from elecare based on our ped advice. well it's been a weekof 2oz milk and 6 oz formula in every bottle and i feel like he is a different kid. he is waking up super early 5am, and seems really cranky and has a runny nose. has anyone seen changes in kids behavior from starting milk?

Sorry, I have no BTDT advice because we aren't transitioning to milk, but the behavioral changes and runny nose would be a red flag that he's still sensitive or allergic to it. I would bring it up with the ped.

If he was on elacare I wouldn't be giving him cow's milk. I would give soy or almond milk.

Runny nose definitely sounds like allergy. My DD always got a runny nose when exposed to cows milk.

we noticed minor runny nose and crankiness but then realized he was also cutting 4 incisors Chat Icon and now a month later, 2 molars Chat Icon

could it be teething related? also similar symptoms.

any changes in BMs?

his gastro was the one who told us to start milk after his first birthday and i waited longer than that. my dd had the same problem but we transitioned her to soy milk.

i took him off the milk yesterday, so we'll see how the week goes.
