My daughter is now 15. She is anaphylactic to even trace amounts of milk
and milk protein.  She was diagnosed w/milk allergies before she was 8 mos
old.  When she was 14 months old she almost died from an asthma attack,
which we now believe was also linked to her milk allergies. She has had
regular problems since that time.  We now carry an EpiPen (which is
epinephrine) at all times--which she self injects when she has gotten a
milk product by accident.  When she was about 10 the doctor gave her an Epi
Jr.

However, (tho I'm not a medical person--nor do I "play one on t.v."!), my
understanding is that the EpiPen is for children older than 2 years old.
Your doctor should be able to tell you if the medication that is contained
in the Pen is o.k. for such a small child to be injected.  When our
daughter had problems when she was that little, we rushed her to the e.r.
and fortunately we were near enough to many hospitals at that time that we
were successful in saving her life.

Good luck to you!  How difficult to handle this problem when your child is
so young.  One of my dear friends has a son that age who reacts violently
when milk only touch his skin.   They simply do not have milk in their
house and she is religious about controlling all his contacts with
well-meaning friends and family.
