so this may sound crazy and probably me just being such a paranoid person but if i ate dairy (e.g chocolate bar) and then lo touched my hands as i forgot to do a quick wash as life is tricky with a baby or even just kiss her head, could they react to the milk just from skin contact?

also would just like to add she’s been on alfamino for 2 weeks now and we have been told to do a reintroduction of formula when she’s been on it 6 weeks. she’s had little spots on her face even after coming on alfamino which has sent me into paranoid mumma spiral of contact with milk from me/partner or it’s just simple baby acne

My friends child had extreme dairy allergy at tiny age. My tiny DD kissed her friend after just drinking milk and you could see her skin react. So yes I've known it personally

The same effect actually happened from parent & tea. Had no lasting harm it's important to note tho. The child didn't seem bothered

My youngest reacted to allergens touching skin but it was more severe than that. That just looks like baby acne to me
