I have a 16 month old who is allergic to nuts, diary, and soy. She is currently not having any formula or milk. Is this ok? Does she need it for her development?
I am not a doctor or anything, just a mother that was in the same place 12 years ago. My boy had severe eczema that flared up if he ate any of the top ten allergens + about 20 more things. I weaned him to carrot/veggie juice around 14mo. He ate lots of quiona and veggies and the beans he could tolerate. He never had formula or dairy and is now a lean, happy 13yr old. His food issues are mostly gone, though he does have seasonal allergies in the summer.
Two of my other children have had food issues, and none of them have had issues because of the lack of milk...
He did fine without formula/milk from 14mo. on, but I only have test cases of one severe and 2 milder...
Good luck and pm me if you want some support or help. It is a hard place to be.
