Milk Allergy???

So we introduced Lillie to yogurt at 9 months, as we did with Emma. And we started noticing a slight reaction. So we took her off the yogurt while we were on vacation. The reaction went away. We returned from vacation, gave yogurt, reaction came back...

So after many calls, emails and internet researching, Lillie's pediatrician ordered an allergy test for this morning. It is a blood test that will test a variety of things, one of them being milk and dairy products. We are all hoping for a negative result, or if it is a positive result, we will be thankful that we caught it this early. (the results should come back in 3-4 days)

I am not sure what happens next, if she has the allergy, as far as what she can or can't eat.. That will be a learning process.

I will keep everyone posted.
