If your child had a dairy intolerance or MSPI, when did he/she grow out of it?
-
She grew out of it at near a year old. We started trials once a month at eight month and at a year she was finally good to go!

Favoriting this!
Yikes @Mrs. Jacks: 1 year? There goes my hope of having pizza in a month! I was hoping to reintroduce dairy in a month when she's 6 months.
-
@regberadaisy: You should still try. It doesn't hurt and if LO doesn't seem bothered by baked cheese, you could progress to uncooked cheese, then yogurt than milk. Plenty of babies out grow it sooner than Lala did!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: thanks - I was planning to after the ped's ok to reintroduce in small quantity like a little cheese. Fingers crossed!
-
@regberadaisy: start with cooked cheese because the milk proteins are more broken down. Hooray pizza!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: thanks for the tip! Would baked or melted cheese be the same?
-
@regberadaisy: They say baked first. I was thinking fondue might qualify, but it seems not.

I'm bumping this. LO is 9 months and our GI doctor ok'd starting to give him food with dairy "by-products" (ie, not reading labels carefully in things like bread). Then, she suggested if all goes well, at 10-11 months, can try cheese or baby yogurt and go from there.
Anyone else have experiences? What did you start with? Did you have to back off?
-
We started with cheese and yogurt. We backed off a lot because he seemed to react until he was 18 months old. We did a scratch test and he reacted to soy. So we changed our tactics and did milk and dairy and absolutely no soy. We found that most breads had actual milk and soy flour in them.
-
@brownie: when you say "react" what do you mean? when my son was an infant on breastmilk I could see flecks of blood in his stool, that's how we knew he had the intolerance. i haven't seen any since 4 months old (but he's been on special formula since then) BUT now his bowel movements are so....large....that I really don't know if I could see blood in there if there was any. sorry, probably TMI.

We never had an issue with bread, cheese or yogurt while DD was on Nutramigen. I think we started giving her those other foods around 9 months and she was ok.
-
@winniebee: he would start a cycle of constipation and explosive diarrhea. This was his main cycle before he got it out of his system. He would get extremely fussy and stop sleeping. He also would stop gaining weight (a major issue for us).
-
I was on dairy elimination for DD's eczema from around 4.5 months to around 9-10 months, then experimented by eating it myself. Once I realize it was ok I started giving DD dairy products like cheese and yogurt.
Off topic - but do you have trouble remembering exact timing of things? I should have been better at writing everything down so I can go back to it for reference for the next one. The first year already seems so blurry. =\

@littleveesmommy: With this particular issue, I definitely do remember the timeline (but other stuff like sleep....I always thoguht I'd remember, and don't!)
