OH Deb I am so happy for you!  We are in the same situation here and I can really truly understand how excited you are. DS accidentally had butter one day shortly after we arrived in Germany and he seemed fine for 24 hours, so we started him on bits of cheese and some tastes of yogurt and he is doing well!  I did try straight milk one day and hew as a total nightmare, but he was cutting 4 teeth at the same time, so I couldn't be definite about it.  I've not offered milk again but have given him a few licks of my ice cream now and again and cooked with milk in it (pancakes, etc) and no problems yet!  We have actually stopped label reading and stopped thinking about what we give him - if he wants to try something on my plate I don't say "noooo, there is milk in that" - and we are doing well.

It is a HUGE load off of your mind, isn't it?  Just feels like life is so much simpler now.  Sooooo very happy for you and your LO!

Mashi, that's fantastic!  ;D
I would try again with the straight milk and see what happens.  Give it in the morning and then if he is a cranky pants you have the daylight hours to deal with it.

ladies,

fortunately  I have never dealt with MPI and won't have to..(would be a nightmare especially as we barely eat meat so milk is a staple..) but wondeirng if you ahve tried cottage cheese? It is much easier to digest than straight milk and probably easier than normal processed cheese as well....

Wonderful news Deb and Mashi  :) :).

I'm going to try J again in 2 weeks - I'm hoping for success as he has been much less sickly lately despite his formula still being cows milk. So fingers crossed it is easing  :).

The only good thing is that a cranky pants in the daylight hours is easier than being a cranky pants at 3am when, I don't know about you, but I certainly have zip for tolerance IYKWIM.

In the perfect world it will all go peachy though! :)

Didn't work so well for us. Gave it to him in the morning for 10 days and had cranky pants in the day AND grumps at 4am! Took a while to twig cos he is also cutting his molars - ugh. But the red rash around his mouth for the last couple of days is a giveaway. Oh well, try again at 18 months I suppose!
