: 1) Who in your immediate family has allergic reaction to milk, and how severe is it? For each family member listed, answer questions 2-7.

my daughter, age 3 (almost 4), has gastrointestinal & respiratory symtpoms.  When she
was younger, also had hives on skin contact.

: 2) How long was the person breast fed with no supplemental bottles? (If supplemental bottles were given for the first week, but then the child was nursed without supplemental bottles for the next year, please indicate that).

6 months

: 3) How long did the mother follow a dairy free diet, if at all (include time while pregnant and while nursing)?

Never.

: 4) After weaning, what formula was the child put on?

soy, after a reaction to cow's milk formula

: 5) When were any foods containing dairy first introduced to the child (i.e. first had cheese at 4 months, etc)

5 months, mixed rice cereal with cow's milk formula

: 6) When and how did the person's dairy allergy first show up?

See above - first exposure caused facial rash, respiritory distress, vomiting

: 7) If the person is your child, what would you have done differently while pregnant, nursing, or during the first two years of life, if anything?

Nothing for her, since there was no reason to think she would have allergies (no family history at all).
Future pregnancies, I'll strictly avoid peanuts, limit dairy and eggs & shellfish, and eliminate
them while nursing.

: 8) For family members not afflicted with dairy allergy, how long was the person breast fed with no supplemental bottles?

No other children, parents had formula from the start (50's)

: 9) For family members not afflicted with dairy allergy, how long did the mother follow a dairy free diet, if at all (include time while pregnant and while nursing).

NA

: 10) If you know of women who followed a dairy free diet while pregnant in the interest of minimizing the child's sensitivity to dairy, when did she start on the diet? As soon as she knew she was pregnant? Before getting pregnant? Only during later trimesters?
