Possible milk allergy

[Spixie33]

Hmmm that is interesting. You would think milk is soothing to skin....

Anyways...my son truly is allergic to milk and will vomit if he ingests it (but not anaphelectic) (Sp) and he isn't allergic to touching it.

There are different levels of allergy severity. The doctor must have told the parents not to worry.

I think you should be able to tell the parents that you don't feel comfortable serving milk though. Children are only supposed to have a few milk servings a day anyways so it shouldn't be hard for the parents to give during the time they are with the child i.e Breakfast or dinner.

You could always stick to just water or whatever juice is permitted during daycare until they test the child.

Every child is different so really it may not mean anything that he had the welts on his skin as long as he doesn't get a rash drinking the milk.

I have a girl who last year would get rash on her tummy and cheeks if we had yogurt or milk during daycare. I was giving her dairy and the parents were giving her dairy and she probably was building up a sensitivity. We totally removed dairy from her diet for a month and reintroduced it slowly and she was fine. I still don't give her much milk while she is with me....maybe organic yogurt a few times a week and the occasional serving of milk

I sure wouldn't consider terminating based on the outbreak.

You could also go the route of having the parents sign a form saying that they are aware of the incident that happened in regards to the milk and that they want you to continue serving milk and are aware you are not liable. etc
