Milk allergy but tolerates cheese and yogurt??

[scoggy]

DD2 (8 months) had skin prick tests this week. She is allergic to fresh milk and cooked milk (although to a lesser extent to cooked milk). I had kind of suspected this, due to a couple of "unexplained" allergic reactions, but still feel a bit low about it.

Anyway, I had been giving her yogurt and cheese. She doesn't develop hives, although she possibly gets runnier poos (but has been teething, so who knows?).

Do I continue to give yogurt and cheese? Does this risk sensitising her to them? Is it best to keep giving small amounts every other day to build up a tolerance? Obviously, I will watch for any digestive symptoms and cut them out if she does get a bad bum.

I intend to keep BF until she is a year plus. After then can she go straight soya milk or does it have to be soya formula? She did react slightly to soya, but

Have just seen kms123's thread. Sorry ladies. Must do better.

Hi, we have similar issues.

I saw my GP and he suggested I use soya for substitute for in cereals, cooking etc. He said I could keep using cheese, yoghurt if DS seems tolerate it OK and he also said I could still drink cows milk myself as BF as DS did not have any bad reactions when exclusively BF although I think I may just limit my consumption.

Let m eknow how you get on as nice to hear someone same boat!

oh and he preferred not to send for skin tests yet and to wait see how goes. I think my son OK cooked milk too.
