Toddler Allergies
Anyone have a baby or toddler with allergies to cow’s milk?
My daughter stayed with store bought formula for about a year. She started vomiting milk at 14 months. She is now 22 months and I have tried milk again and she does not vomit, so I’m really looking forward giving her milk. But she has developed a runny nose and cough. Could this still the milk allergy? Has anyone else had this kind of child with a reaction when drinking milk? I hope its just a coincidence with a cold or seasonal allergies.
Best Answer:
It may be a milk or other dairy allergy. Try taking her off of all dairy products and add one at a time in a 48 hour time period and track her reaction in a journal.
You can also try using soy or rice milk and see what it does. If there is no improvement within 7-10 days, then take her to allergy doctor. Depending on her age, they may or may not be able to give her any type of allergy tests. The main thing is to watch her carefully each time you give any dairy product.
Also, make sure the indoor environment is as clean as possible and there are no allergens which could be causing her symptoms. Check for signs of mold growth in unseen areas such as the AC coil box, refrigerator pan and under sinks.
If you use a standard vacuum, try using a HEPA (High Efficient Particulate Air) vacuum which removes much more of indoor pollutants.
