outgrow dairy allergy after few months??

[kms123]

Hi
My DS was diagnosed with a milk allergy at 6-7 months after I noticed his face would get red wherever milk had touched his skin. GP gave me soya formula for using in cooking. I still BF.

He is now just over 9 months and I was at my Mums and she gave him rice pudding made with milk and his skin seemed OK. So I then tried porridge with milk and again OK. I put a bit of milk straight on his cheek and arm today- this is what HV told me to try previously- and there was no redness. No other symptoms at all.

Can he have outgrown allergy/ intolerance already?

Can/ should I give him cows milk in cooking again now? I hope so as not keen on teh soya formula.

Thanks for any advice.

I don't really know. My DS has outgrown some of his allergy. At the beginning it was really severe, but now he can tolerate milk in most things but not ice cream, custard or other things that contain a large amount of milk.

Try it and see. Also I guess you should keep your eyes open for other symptoms such as constipation, wind, etc.

Any other advice on how quick can outgrow allergy- 3 months seems very quick.

His face is no longer red after feeding milk but at end of day wee cheeks quite red but not sure if that's the cold weather and/or he has a sniffle just now.

I'm not sure about 9 months but we were told that our DS could outgrow his dairy allergy by 12 months, so I guess its possible.

I guess it's possible, but your safest bet is to hold off on the milk and try to get a food challenge done to be certain.
