Dairy is a No Go...

Poor Griff...

He is broke out in a bothersome rash, battling some gut problems and just not feeling great.

At least, I know the cause of it and he should be all better very quickly. It's all because of Dairy. Dairy, mostly milk, just does not agree with him. We learned this right after his first birthday when we attempted to make the switch from formula to milk. It didn't take long for his little body to let us know that regular milk was not going to cut it. No biggie- we made a quick switch to soy milk and he's been fine since. We were advised to attempt dairy milk/products around age two. So, we did and here we are again. He seemed to be tolerating it well for the most part. He had a slight rash, but we were expecting that to a point. He was on a 50/50 mix of soy and regular milk at that point. After almost 3 weeks of that, we progressed to full on dairy milk. The rash got worse and the poor guy's belly blew up like a balloon...he was miserable.

YIKES...
We are back to soy and will just keep it that way for a long while. I am not too concerned. Soy milk is very nutritious and hopefully he will out-grow his sensitivity to dairy just like Mac and Lilly did. I just feel bad for trying this and making him so uncomfortable!
