How long did it take your LO to grow out of Dairy Sensitivity? (for mobiles)

My LO is 6 months and has been sensitive to dairy since about 6 weeks. She was really gassy, wouldn't sleep well, and had mucus poops. Luckily she seems fine with soy. She was so sensitive with the dairy that she would react even when I ate beef. Now, I notice that she can tolerate beef fine but I am still apprehensive about the dairy. So, I was wondering how long it took other ppl's little ones to grow out of this?

lo was mspi and we started to challenge her system through my milk at 8 months then at 9 months we went to italy and I had lots of dairy and she did ok ( ezcema and gassy but thats it) Now at 10 months I gave her a tiny bit of goats milk yogurt and she seemed ok but I am sooooo nervous to give her any I dont know when I will really try it. I would personally wait until your lo is a bit older, her gut is still closing and at 6 months she will probably be starting solids so I would give her a bit to get use to those before intro-ing dairy

My dd is 13 months and still can't tolerate dairy. Depends on the child. Many outgrow it by 10-12 months. Most by 2 yrs.

I agree it totally depends on the kid. DD had multiple food protein intolerance and had to be switched to elemental formula at 4 months. She could not tolerate any food until around 10-11 months. She is doing great now with slow introduction of the safest foods, but her GI told me to wait until 18 months before introducing any dairy at all.

DS is a year old. We challenged him with dairy a couple weeks ago. He failed miserably. We will be challenging him with soy in a couple weeks. Fingers crossed.

DD is going to be 4 in August. At 3 she was still allergic to dairy based on her blood work so we never did a food challenge. I'm hoping at her testing coming up she has finally outgrown it, but there is no guarantee she will ever outgrow it. Only 86% do.

I actually just re-read your post. My daughter has a dairy allergy, not sensitivity.

my 19 month old still is very sensitive to dairy.

My 3 y/o is allergic to dairy (and others) but my 19 month old has always been intolerant. No signs of slowing down. As soon as he has anything dairy it runs right through.
