Food Allergies Treatment

Question by Bianca: My daughter has a milk protein allergy. She turned 1 and we tried giving her whole milk?
She has been having loose stools and has developed a rash all over her body. I know it is a reaction from the milk. From what I have read you should not give babies with milk protein allergies soy milk or lactaid…what do you give them????????? I have read things about goats milk and rice milk?
also do they sell goats milk at the regular grocery store…I mean i have never looked for it so I dont know
She is also allergic to Soy. She was on a hypoallergenic formula. Soy formula gave her bloody stools.

Goats milk, same thing I grew up on since I have a milk protein allergy which I passed to my daughter. It is an acquired taste, but great when you get used to it.

Question by Madison’s mommy <3: Giving my 10 month old Whole Milk and skip the formula?
I know that you are not supposed to give whole milk until the baby is a year old, but I was wandering if any of you started earlier than a year? If you started at around 11 months, what would be the harm as long as the baby has no allergies?

Best answer:

Answer by Mae rose Roque
At 11 months you can do half whole milk half formula so that they get used to the whole milk

Question by haleysmom: Avoiding peanut allergies. I was advised to wait until my daughter was 3 before giving her peanuts.?
She is 16 months old and got a hold of some peanuts and ate them. She didn’t have any allergic reaction but I don’t know if I should now give her peanuts regularly or should I wait until she is three before giving her anymore. Does anyone know?

Best answer:

Answer by Amy B
Yes. Wait until she’s 3. Don’t give her peanut butter either. For the same reason.

Question by Maritime Mummy: Giving seafood (shellfish) to a toddler…what is the recommended age now, and what is the best way?
…to introduce? I’m not a shellfish eater only because I hate it, but my husband and his family are, big time. Lobsters almost every week during lobster season. No allergies in our family (that goes for everything). She’s had other high-risk allergen foods. She’s 1.5 years old.
Ah-HA! So it *IS* younger than 2 now! Our daughter’s doctor has my husband convinced that she must be at least 2 before even getting lobster on her skin. I figured it was the same now as introducing peanut butter, etc, which I’ve already done.
To Jada’s Mommy: Sorry to hear that, but to be honest, what’s the difference between introducing at one age and not another? If my daughter ends up allergic at 1.5, she’ll still have the same reaction at 5+…I just don’t understand withholding this kind of stuff.

Sounds fine. Just cut it into small prices like anything else so she doesn’t choke. But if she eats some and her lips get puffy, her face gets red or anything of that nature get her to the hospital. It doesn’t sound like you’ll have any problems, though. So I wouldn’t worry too much, just be prepared.

There is no problem with giving baby soy milk formula. It is up to the parent as to what they want to give their baby. Irregardless if they have an allergy or not. I give my baby soy milk formula because I feel that it is just healthier.
