Okay so Breckyn thought it might be a great idea to put her hands into her milk and then style Ryder's hair the way I sometimes do with the hair putty. A few minutes later, welts raised all over his hands and face where the milk had touched. Then again yesterday she kindly gave Ryder some entertainment by pouring her unwanted milk into his high chair for him to splash in. She is just being helpful. A few minutes later I snapped this picture. So what does this mean? He's never had any other problems.

I'm not doctor but I do know that both my girls had this problem. I noticed it when Ella would eat ranch. Her moutch and anything the ranch touched on her sking would turn into welts and a rash. So I kept a notebook to see if other things made her do this. Yogurt, whole milk, ranch, etc....basically anything with milk in it, except for cheese...weird. Anyway, they sort of grew out of it, although they never liked normal milk, it upset their tummmies way too much so we did lactaid for a while. Now that they are a little older I have found that they handle it better.
wow...sorry for the novel :)
Poor guy! Milk is not his friend. How long did he stay that way? Great talk it church on Sunday. I really enjoyed it.
I agree with Erica Ethan had this problem too (Ethan still have some problems), hopeful the same will happen for Ryder that he will just grow out of it. It's hard to make meals without milk and milk products. But with some searching I have found some good substitutes if you do find yourself with a child who is allergic.
They make that step 2 formula (for kids over a year) partly for this reason, I know alot of kids handle formula but not whole milk, I think after you quit breast feeding I would try that first, it kinda gives them a chance to ease into whole dairy milk. It is alot more expensive than just going straight to whole milk
Walker Paradise is right. When we adopted Mikayla she had never been exposed to milk so we had to be very careful. We used the Step 2 formula and is worked really well. Nestle even makes a mix that works well - that was all we could find while in China but we switched to the Step 2 once we had been back in the states for awhile. And to leave on a good note, she does great with milk now - no allergies. Your poor little guy!
wow thanks everyone. I guess it is a lot more common than I thought. And it sounds like he will probably out grow it.
Brock did the same thing...sorry if this is just repeating what everyone has written...anyway I just had him drink soy milk and kept trying cow's milk every once in awhile. Soon he stopped turning red and rashy and hasn't had a problem since. I'd like to say he outgrew it around eighteen months.
My sister-in-law and her daughter have allergies to food when they touch their skin but can eat them just fine. That's my only experience with such things.

Since no one else had any ideas (j/k) KC did the same thing also. Allergy is outgrown now, but still doesn't like milk - however, he likes cheese and ice cream and most other dairy.
