Help me with cow milk allergy
Hi,
My toddler is severely allergic to cow's milk. Interestingly, he was never allergic to the formula which was based on cow's milk. He is now 15 months old and we give him goat's milk, which is fine. Does anyone know if it's possilbe for him to grow out the allergy to cow's mild later? And if so, when should I try introducing it again?
I'm also wondering if I could boil it to break down some of the proteins and then refrigerate it...? Does anyone else have experience with this?
Thanks!

It's a good chance that your toddler will outgrow it, but there is a chance that it will continue to get worse. When you say "severe", how severe is it? Can you explain.
I was diagnosed with a CMA when I was 5 months old. They told my parents that I'd outgrow it, however, each reaction seems to get worse. I'm 25 now and can't be in the same room with cheese, dairy, etc. or I'll start having an asthma attack.
