Comments on: When Your Kid Is Mildly Allergic to Milk http://dadomatic.com/when-your-kid-is-mildly-allergic-to-milk/ The Ultimate Resource for Dad by Dads Thu, 18 Mar 2010 04:58:14 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Tim King http://dadomatic.com/when-your-kid-is-mildly-allergic-to-milk/comment-page-1/#comment-18 Tim King Fri, 19 Sep 2008 17:34:47 +0000 http://dadomatic.com/?p=7#comment-18 Both my girls have a slight intolerance to milk. I think they get it from my wife, who does her best to avoid anything with milk in it. My elder daughter, when she was little, loved stuff with milk in it, and we had a devil of a time trying to keep milk away from her. I'm not sure it did any good. Now that my girls are 9 and 12, we let them make their own choices. They seem to be none the worse for eating a little cheese, yogurt, or chocolate milk once in a while. (Or ice cream.) But they prefer to drink rice milk, either because cow's milk makes them sick or because they're just used to rice milk. And most of the food we have in the house is milk-free anyhow. -TimK Both my girls have a slight intolerance to milk.

Don't leave it up to the school to police her eating habits. Coincidentally, <a href="http://dadomatic.com/nuts/" rel="nofollow">my first post on Dad-o-Matic</a> also concerns food allergies at school, and the two different approaches my childrens' schools have taken.
