Hi....in your specified conditions, you can use Lactogen 2 for a 9 month old baby. As you are a working mother I can understand your difficulty. But make sure that the dilution or mixing is done as suggested on the pack... That is 1 unheaped scoop for 30ml of water.
I want to bring another thing to your notice. The milk protein in the cow's milk and Lactogen are one and the same. If the initial allergy was due to cow's milk then the same allergy should have developed for Lactogen too.... I don't think it was cow's milk protein allergy.
