2 Quick Questions

[Tamara551]

Two quick questions.

1.  My 17m DD has a milk allergy.  Some people say they can outgrow it.  If they do out grow it, at what age might that be.

2.  My DD a couple of weeks ago started being terrified of the bath.  Nothing has happened to make her that way.  She startes screaming and shaking when she knows she has to have a bath.  Up until that time I could not get her out because she loved them so much.  I hate forcing her to take a bath.  Any ideas on what I can do to help ease the situation?

Any comments or ideas whould be great and thank you ahead of time for your help.

It's different for every child, the only way to tell is to for her to try milk again.  
The bath thing is just a phase, she will get past it.  My don did the same thing to me for a week or two.  I just tried to make it quick and keep saying funny things and sanf his favorite songs to distract him.  It will pass.

is it an actual milk allergy or intolerance?

i have a milk allergy and have had one since I was introduced to whole milk.. i get awful ear infections, runny nose and sore throat.. i dont have the intolerance part i have the actual allergy...ive never outgrown it:S

i, on the other hand, had an intolerance as an infant and was put on soy. i outgrew it by the time i was a toddler and drank milk until i was 18. i LOVED milk and drank it at least 3 times/day even through my teens. when i was 18 i went to europe for a month and had no milk there. when i returned, i was no longer able to drink milk without some nasty side effects.
if it is an intolerance, you can try lactaid (ask your ped first, of course!).

like tiredbuthappy, i had a milk intolerance as an infant and was put on soy formula. my mom was able to transition me to whole milk just fine. i never particularly liked it though, once i got older, and dont drink plain milk to this day. i am fine with other milk products though. for an intolerance, lactaid is good. i would talk to your dr.though about how to proceed from this point on.

my dd did the whole bath thing too, a little earlier when she was about 12 months, but after a few scream filled baths she grew out of it
