Food Allergies Treatment

Question by sykatlee: My one year old won’t drink cow’s milk.?
My daughter had extreme milk allergies when she was born so she was on a formla called Neocate. I switched her to cow’s milk about 1 month ago and she had no problems with the cow’s milk. She started refusing to drink milk about 1 week ago. I tried chocolate and strawberry milk in a bottle and a sippy cup but she refuses. What can I do? I tried giving her cheese but she doesn tlike that either.

Question by bby_blue_eyes2003: At what age did you give your child cows milk and why?
I breast feed my son and my milk supply has steadly declined. My son eats baby food, cereal, juice, water, finger foods, and he gets breast milk when he has the patience to wait for it to drop, or if I have the patience to sit pumping for an hour. I get very little breast milk and I have tried EVERYTHING to get the supply up and its just not working. i have tried supplimenting with formula, but he gags on it…I do 1/4 formula/ 3/4 breastmilk, he gags…Dark Kayro, juice to sweeten, but nothing he gags. He is 10.5 months old..this is why I am wondering when you started your kids on cows milk. I know they say wait till they are a year old, because of allergies and such, but he eats his baby food, and he also like to try yogurt, cheeze, ice cream, little sips of milk, or whatever you are eating…and has no reaction to the dairy. no fussiness, no gas, poops fine… so…could be be ready for milk milk? I just cant seem to produce what he needs now….

They are really ready by their first birthday but it’s good that you are giving him a taste here and there to get his system ready for dairy. Waiting until his first birthday is ideal.

Question by liz n: My 1-year-old got hives today after drinking cow’s milk yesterday. Is this a typical allergy response?
I have given him cow’s milk occasionally before but only 2-3 oz per day (with no hives in response). Last night he had a total of 6-7 oz of organic whole milk. He woke up more than usual last night crying (apparently in pain), and this morning he has hives. Does is sound like lactose intolerance? What is the best substitute? Soy milk or lactose-free milk? Any other advice about this?

Answer by pennypincher
Hives is NOT lactose intolerance. That is a definite allergic reaction. However, there is the possibility that it may be something other than milk. Has he has anything different lately?

Question by Aubree’s Momma?: Should we do cows milk (whole or 2 %) or soy milk?
I am asking again because Im hoping Pippin will see. I love her answers.

Ive been giving Aubree chese and yogurt for a couple of months now. She does perfectly fine with it. Would you say that she has outgrown the milk allergy?

Her Pediatrician diagnosed her over the phone, without seeing her.. after we found a tiny bit of blood in her stool around 1-2 months old.

Gosh.. you dont like my answers I am so offended =(

When my son was a baby one doctor put him on soy.. his new doctor (who i loved oh so much!) said it effects their development.. but mostly in boys, so I am not quite sure about girls….

But to my understanding they are supposed to be on whole milk from 12-24 months… (of course I personally gave whole milk I get from WIC them 2% or whatever, mostly even 1%)

EDA My son had a milk allegy and it went away.. his WHOLE back broke out with the first change to milk… he does fine now with it,
