XP from 12-24: Cow's Whole Milk allergy?

DS has had a cold (his first one) since last Sunday and it has not gotten any worse (knock on wood), but hasn't gotten any better either.  Not sure if this is coincidence or not, but this is right around the time when we began transitioning him to whole milk.  We started last Thursday and gradually worked up to 8oz. of WM per bottle this week.  He doesn't have any rashes or whatnot, but a constant runny nose that will not stop no matter what we do.  Is this typical of a cold- lasting a week?  I hope the milk intro is just a coincidence, but just wondering if any of your LO's have had a similar reaction? TY!

    DS had the same thing happen.  The best thing to do is try and find out. = stop cow's milk and switch to soy only.  No yogurt, cheese etc. at first and see if it clears up.  If so, then slowly re-introduce those things but keep on soy milk and watch and wait.  THEN re-introduce cow's milk and see if the same symptoms pop up.  Give each transition at least a week.  GL
