My Alyssa, too, became somewhat less sensitive to her allergens at about
age 3.  She's 5 now, and still cannot actually eat any of them, but she
can at least touch milk without getting itchy hives!  And, as small as this
sounds, it makes being out and about in public alot less stressful!  I
don't have to worry quite so much about cleaning every surface before
she touches it...

Good luck with everyone's challenges - I keep reminding myself that statistics
say *most* kids will outgrow infant allergies... just that mine didn't (or hasn't
yet).
