My daughter just switched to whole milk from breast milk. She has some symptoms of an allergy, but very very mild... what did you experience when you found out your child had milk allergy?

she has a slight rash around her mouth, barely visible rash on her tummy/back that comes and goes. very mild/occasional diarrhea. sometimes spits up.
If you think it is milk allergy, what should I do? Right now I'm on vacation, so I can't take her to pediatrician. Also, returning to breastfeeding isn't possible.

My daughter had rash on her face and swelling on her face. I found out as I tried to wean her. Your daughter could clearly have milk allergy. I spoke to my doctor and he suggested we try switching to soy milk. My daughter took to that fine. She continued to have eczema so we took her to an allergist who diagnosed allergies to multiple foods. But initially it was based on two immediate reactions to milk.
Some kids are also allergic to soy milk. Then you might need the hypoallergenic formula, but that is expensive and pretty unappealing.
I would call the pediatrician and try the soy milk. Kids like the chocolate and very vanilla. Allergies can get worse so I would hold off on milk if possible. Could you call your pediatrician though?
Best of luck. My daughter's multiple allergies have not been as much of a life altering difficulty as we initially worried about.

My sister had a severe milk allergy as a child and had trouble breathing. Can you elaborate?

I think I had trouble breathing and had eczema, so my mother had to give me soy milk.
I'm fine now with milk though.

usually they can't keep it on their stomach, some will have a rash.
