Mums with babies with dairy sensitivity...

Now that the babies are a little older had anyone tried adding dairy back into their diet or given their kiddo any dairy like food?

I think I read somewhere that they may grow out if it by now but I also read to waita bit if they are sensitive.

I have an appt at the docs this week so I'll ask but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this.

Thanks!

Edited for clarity.

    Is it an allergy or a sensitivity?

    My older DD had dairy sensitivity. When I nursed I was on a dairy free diet, we used dairy free formula. When we ditched bottles for sippies, she had almond milk. Around a year we slowly began trying small amounts of different dairy, and she tolerated more and more. We started with tiny amounts - a teaspoon of yogurt, a fifth of a piece of string cheese- and if she got an upset tummy we'd avoid that food for a month or so, then try again. She is now 2 and eats a regular diet. We only notice issues- constipation, then diarrhea and diaper rash, tummy aches- if she had large amounts of diary. For instance, her Nana can't tell her no ever and let her have 2 pieces of cheese, a yogurt, cereal with milk, and some cream based soup, all in a day. Then we had a night of tummy aches and a day after of poop problems. But she is fine when fed sensibly.

    Thank you @scrumpfy‌ it's a sensitivity as far as we know. I have given up dairy while nursing and she's doing much better. She had terrible gas and stomach ache when I was on dairy. We'll stay away from it for now. Thanks again!

    My little guy has a milk protein allergy (blood in stool, was in pain, etc).  I haven't been told by the pedi to start trying to incorporate cow's milk into his diet as of yet.  And, to be honest, I'm really nervous about it anyway.  I've read and heard that many children outgrow it by age one (i'm hopeful my son does too).  I'm going to wait until the pedi recommends it.

    DS seemed to be gassy/fussy and got better when I cut out dairy. We've now switched to formula and we do Gerber Gentle as the proteins are broken down. I've recently tried yogurt and i did notice a bit of gas but definitely not what we used to deal with. Good luck!

    Lo had reflux and I stopped dairy from around 2-7 months. Now he's 9 months and doing fine with me eating dairy. Not sure if he truly had a sensitivity but it seemed to help. I haven't given him any dairy directly yet and plan to hold off a little longer.
