Hi
I'd suspected dairy issues with my 9 month old. I have 2.5 year old twins who both struggle with dairy. Baby is breastfed, she was quite sicky until about 6 months, she's very windy in the evenings. Seems worse when I've had lots of dairy although I'm not certain of this.
For about 2 months she's had a small amount of cows milk on her porridge with no obvious reaction.
She tried a small piece of cheese for the first time last week and immediately came out in hives on her face and hands.
If anyone has answers to any of the following questions I'd be very grateful.
Does this mean a definite dairy allergy or is there anything else in cheese that could cause a reaction like this?
My older children have soya milk. Is this ok in small amounts for under 1's (just on porridge)?
If anyone else has been in this situation, how did you go about reducing the milk feeds? Dd seems to be ready to drop her mid morning feed which would leave 3 breast feeds per day and an occasional night feed. I'm concerned that with no cheese/yogurts/other milk in her diet she'll be missing something.
Thanks
