transitioning from formal to milk--diaper rash

So, I ebf DD in the beginning and found that her acide reflux was related to the amount of dairy I ate. So I cut out all dairy in my diet and that was helpful. When we then started supplementing with formula and then eventually she was getting all formula--we used soy. When she was able to start eating though...she ate yogurt and cheese without an issue.

So, now she's 12 months and we are a couple days into giving her milk. We are also trying to transition from a bottle to sippy cup for her milk which has other challenges. But, I have noticed that she is getting a bad, painful, red, blotchy diaper rash. I know that this can sometimes related to milk sensitivities. She's eated yogurt and cheese for a long time without issue. Can she possibly just be sensitive to milk (not all dairy)? How do you know if it's linked to the milk and not some other reason?

Thoughts?

I know for a lot of people who are lactose interolant, they can eat yogurt and cheese because the bacteria in it breaks down the lactose. You might try her on Lactaid Milk, which has the lactose enzyme already broken down. A lot of people have a LOT of success with goat's milk because it doesn't have the same proteins as cows milk.

Either way, good luck. I hope she isn't intolerant. I am (although it didn't start until I was 20) and I really miss real milk and ice cream. I know for adults, doctors say you should be able to consume about 1/2-1 cup of dairy before it starts causing trouble.

If you cant do dairy try almond milk we have been drinking it for over a year, tastes great and very healthy, no dairy/lactose

I have IBS(Irritable Bowel Syndrome)..and I have a very hard time with milk..but I can eat cheese all day long. I think it's how it's processed..

I think they do a process of elimination method when trying to find allergies..also just being tested but an allergist. I also saw on the news a new laser treatment for food allergies..it's painless and with a few treatments they are better.
