My son was diagnosed w/ a dairy intolerance at 6 weeks old and I went off dairy while BF. I tried dairy at 4.5 months = fail! He's 10.5 months old and our GI specialist wanted us to try dairy between 10-11 months with him. So, he had some pizza this past wknd. Loved it of course! Almost 48 hours later and no reaction from him...yet!
I really really hope he is over it.
How did your LO do when you re-introduced dairy?

You are my inspiration. I'm so hoping M outgrows her intolerances as well!! Too soon to tell yet for us.

Yay! LO doesn't have a dairy intolerance, but eggs are a no-go. We're waiting to reintroduce after her first birthday.

That's awesome!
At 11.5 months we've been able to re-introduce dairy on occasion... 2-3 days in a row causes reaction. Wheat is still an issue, but soy & egg we can have at will!
Yay for growing out of intolerances!

Woohoo!! My LO still has a milk allergy and I am reluctant to introduce it to him at almost 2 years old. The last time he had an allergic reaction was a few months ago when DH fed him a cookie. I hope my LO will outgrow it eventually.

@runsyellowlites: That's great you can expand your diet (and hers!)
@yin: Ugh! What is his reaction?

We've happily outgrown the soy part of her intolerance, I'm still a little hesitant about dairy. I can have it now without her having a reaction (she's 1, only nurses 1x day) but I haven't directly given any to her.

@winniebee: I still haven't given her any directly and I haven't myself had milk or ice cream (really only baked cheese & dairy in store bought items) but I'm REALLY glad to have Chinese food back! lol

@winniebee: My LO's mouth gets red and itchy around his lips. Sometimes it spreads to his fingers, and he gets hives. It's so sad to see him suffer, but luckily it goes away within half an hour.

OH.. I should add that if P doesn't have her yogurt for breakfast (coconut milk) then she is more sensitive. The live cultures help tremendously!

@runsyellowlites: when did you start with coconut yogurt? i am thinking that would make a good brekkie for my 9mo old?

@littlebittyhouse: About 9.5 months. We delayed all solids till then though.

@winniebee: I hope its gone! Wahoo!
My son was terrible but at 4m my doctor said to give dairy a try. I did & it was much better. Kind of still gassy but no stool issues, no rashes, no eye puffiness.
So, we compromised by giving him gentleease with is 1/2 broken down. It is a middle ground between regular formula & Nutramigen (or alimentum). He is doing really well!
I am giving purees now and we're moving on to different foods, but I will NOT be trying dairy with him until 1. I think anything earlier than that might be pushing it...

I am so excited for you (and him!). This is going to make meal planning so much easier for you.

Wooohooo!! I am so happy for you! I know you can't wait to send cheese to daycare so I hope that happens soon!

DD had some serious skin reactions to diary at 6 months, leaving us and her doctors to believe she had a milk protein allergy. She was on Nutramigen, but that didn't work out for her (it gave her reflux and didn't stop her hives) so she was given a prescription for Neocate. After 3 months on Neocate, we're now trying to introduce her old formula since her recent prick test showed negative for milk! I'm HOPING she's grown out of it, but we're still in the initial stages of testing it out.
I'm hoping your LO has grown out of it and you're completely free and clear with everything diary (there's so many yummy snacks)! Your post has given me some hope!

We had a longer course than you, but we started with baked cheeses and when she did fine with that, we moved to fresh cheese then yogurt then milk. She still won't drink milk.
@Crumbs: It is not an allergy, just an intolerance, so your babe shouldn't test positive.
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
@TurtleDoves: That is great that gentlease worked for him! T has been on Nutramigen, but we never tried anything in between.
@Crumbs: how old is DD now?
@Mrs. Jacks: We have been giving him some bread products that "might" have milk in it for about a month....then just tried the baked cheese....now I think we try other soft cheese or yogurt (though, he hates eating off of a spoon these days)...
He had the pizza Saturday evening and it's now Tuesday morning with no reaction. I think we might be safe!!
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
Further update....we've been giving him cheese pretty regularly for the past week and....NADA!
Gonna try yogurt next.

@winniebee: woot!!!!! Happy Dairy Intolerance Graduation!!!!!

@Mrs. Jacks: thanks for that! DD has had sleep and skin problems and is now back on Neocate. Since the switch, she's instantly sleeping longer again and her skin's looking better too.
@winniebee: she's 9 months old now. We're gonna wait a whole lot longer before we introduce dairy again!
