@jodyblair: We actually have had some recent success! This is where we're at:

- When she was 9 months old (end of September) I tried giving her two bites of yogurt in the morning. I debated between that and baked dairy but decided she would probably like yogurt better. She seemed fine all day, so the next day I gave her another two bites in the morning. Again, fine all day. That night after putting her to bed, she suddenly woke up about an hour later and threw-up all over the place. She threw-up repeatedly for about an hour or so I decided no more trying dairy for awhile.

- The end of October I broke down and had some candy at Halloween (first dairy for me in over 7 months). I originally thought I would only introduce dairy to her so that my milk would stay clean, but oh well! I ended up not seeing any reaction in her, so I thought I would be the one to experiment from then on. I tried some baked dairy (muffins, a donut) and she usually did pretty well. Sometimes she'd have a little spit-up the next morning but nothing too major. I did accidentally have some seasoning that I believe had some soy protein in it, because the next morning she spit-up repeatedly (chunky and yucky) so that told me she definitely was still having a hard time with it.

- Middle of Decemeber: I started really craving some sweets, so I experimented with some cookies and a donut or two. I noticed that she wasn't really reacting at all (yay!). By this point she was just about a year. We went home for the holidays and stayed at my in-law's. I tried not to have too much dairy, but I did have cheese and butter (yay!!!). She had a teenie bit of spit up, but overall I would say it's a huge improvement!

Sorry this is so long, I know when I've ready people's experiences with MSPI I like details I need to write a post on this soon I think. But yes, I would definitely try something! Maybe just something small and baked, then wait a day or two to see how your LO is doing. The difference in how she handled it was big between 9 and 12 months, so don't be too disappointed if you still have some more time to wait. Good luck!

@jodyblair: I know, I was super nervous! When I ate a Butterfinger on Halloween I remember checking the ingredients and thinking there was hardly any dairy/soy in it (she'd been doing ok with soy lecithin at that point). Maybe something like that or a baked good that you can see the ingredients would be good. Good luck!!
