Follow up on vanilla extract

DS has milk/soy protein intolerance/allergy and we have a printout from our gastro office that mentions adding vanilla if LO is not tolerating the switch to Elecare or Neocate.  I'm not recommending it - ask your own ped, but to show how conservative this practice is, they will not prescribe Prevacid for kids under one and probably even a bit older.  They are also located at/affiliated with a big hospital in the area and were highly recommended versus going to many other closer offices.  Just thought I'd share.  Luckily, we never had to introduce it.  I don't know about the whole alcohol thing.

Really? How much? And how would they define "not tolerating it well?" My LO is on Alimentum for MSPI (we were on Nutramigen but his poos were burning his butt, literally) and most of the time he seems good but sometimes he's fussy like he was before we found out about his allergy so I get concerned. If all it would take is a bit of vanilla extract, lay it on me! lol
