My son Yogi is allergic to cow's milk that's why he is drinking soya milk instead. He stopped having cow's milk at age three and since then he haven't drank even a little. But after reading this, i think i might try giving him a cup just to figure out if he has outgrown that allergy. Here, let me share what i read with you.
Less than one percent of adults have true food allergies. Most adverse reactions to foods are due to food intolerances, reactions to food additives, or food poisoning. Most true food allergies are to peanuts, soybeans, nuts, shellfish, eggs, wheat, and milk. An allergic reaction to food can result in anaphylactic shock.
By gradually introducing simple solid foods into your baby's diet after 6 months of age, you will be able to identify possible food allergies. Children often outgrow food allergies by age 6. If your child was allergic to food when younger, you may be able to reintroduce is as he or she gets older. If the reaction was severe, you should have your child examined by a doctor before trying to reintroduce the food.
