This is Becky (serendipitous13) and I thought ...Hi! This is Becky (serendipitous13) and I thought I'd try to answer some of your questions. Your son's symptoms definitely sound like a milk allergy. (But also could have been caused by something else too, you never know!) I probably sound so calm because I had a milk allergy when I was a baby so I was sort of looking for it. (Yes, some food allergies can be genetic, but they don't have to be.) And that's also one of the reasons I waited until 10 months to give Ben, our son, any kind of dairy. Your son, like mine, doesn't seem to have had a very severe reaction. Since the rash went away I would not be too concerned. The runny nose could be from any number of things. Is Brigham teething? That caused Ben to have the runniest nose ever! Most babies DO grow out of milk allergies. I don't ever remember not having milk, so I'm assuming I grew out of mine pretty early. I gave Ben some Benedryl to help with any itchiness the rash is causing, but it doesn't seem to be bothering him at all. It's natural to be worried. Even more so when it's not something you're looking for to happen. I'll probably try giving him more yogurt in a couple months, around his first birthday. If he has another reaction then I'm going to talk to his doctor about it at his one year check-up. Until then, I'll be avoiding giving him dairy. They don't need it at this age anyway, just breast milk. <BR/>I hope I helped ease your mind at least a little bit! Check back at my live journal if you want, I'll probably update about what happens with Ben's allergy. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5290420601774882863.post-23937682199220606382008-09-16T09:41:00.000-04:002008-09-16T09:41:00.000-04:00Good luck at the doctors!

I hope he isn't allergic to milk...that will be a lot of work keeping him away from milk if he is.Briannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394398456750353802noreply@blogger.com
