Carmen,
My daughter is 6, and anaphylactic to milk and eggs.  I breastfed for ten
months but attempted to supplement with formula at 6 months.  She
reluctantly drank some and vomited about 20 minutes after ingestion.  This
reaction time got progressively shorter with each successive attempt!  Now
it is instantaneous.  Be careful - If I had the chance to do it all over
again, knowing what I know today, I would eliminate the milk as soon as
possible!
