We're anti-cow again

This past week, we had Jack at the pediatrician again and I was telling him about the eczema. Even when I cut dairy out of my diet and Jack's, it still never completely went away. It got much better, but it still existed in small patches. He thought perhaps it wasn't caused by dairy and could be something non-dietary.

Being The Mommy, I have the right to make executive decisions. I also run them by Josh occasionally.

So I decided we might as well start giving him his whole milk yogurt again. Josh thought it sounded like a grand idea. And I had been eating cheese here and there, and hell, let's just have ice cream every day too.

Five days later, Jack is covered in scaly red and orange spots again and we won't be posing for any "Got Milk" campaigns anytime in the near future.

I am actually mad about his food intolerance. He can't enjoy his yogurt. He won't be able to eat cheese. Or ice cream. Have you TASTED soy yogurt? It smells great and tastes like wet cardboard.

After he ate regular yogurt this week, I tried to give him soy again tonight and he cried and cried. After I busted out the YoBaby, he mmmm-mmmmed to his heart's content.

What the hell am I going to do when I need to give him cow's milk in two months?

The breastfeeding train is making its last scheduled trip in February. I had planned all along to transition him right to whole milk and now I am scared I will be nursing for the rest of my life.

Did you have a child with a dairy intolerance? How did you transition them when you weaned? Have they grown out of it? How long did it take?
