I agree. The baby needs to see a specialist. I don't see how a milk allergy can be diagnosed without tests. Further tests need to be done.

This to me does not sound like an allergy. With all the other things you say about your grandson, i would be encouraging your daughter to ask for a referral to a paediatrician for more extensive tests. If nothing else, proper allergy tests should take place.

For a doctor to just say he must be allergic to milk without doing any tests to show whether it is true or not, is very poor medical practice.

My 3.5 month old grandson is breasted and has been struggling with his digestion. He has had green, frothy nappies from the time he had his first vaccines, more latterly yellowish but very full of mucus. My daughter cut out dairy products from her diet but is told by doctors etc that he must be allergic to cows milk even though she hasn’t eaten dairy in weeks. His weight gain is slow these days and he gets tired easily. Grabs, gave any if you any matching experience that may help? I’m quite concerned.
