  I don't see why not.  It will probably cook off and if it doesn't, I think it will be mixed in throughout so that he won't notice.  IMO though, it's not going to hurt him.

  I don't think he has an allergy...he has tried ice cream.

  Brianne, a milk allergy is pretty rare (although lactose intolerance is not). You'd know if he had a milk allergy; massive eczema, bloody stools with tons of mucus, explosive/projectile pooping and vomiting, etc.

  If you're worried about the lactose intolerance, though, evaporated milk may be okay once the heat re/de-natures the protein, but you'd know best how Abe reacts to dairy. And if he was okay with ice cream, you're probably okay with the evaporated milk.

  I know there is a difference and it is rare...I guess I was just lumping it all together rather than typing out both.

  I'm sure it's fine especially if he's had dairy already.  Does he do any yogurt or cheese?  Our pedi actually okayed introducing a little whole milk at 10 months which is early, but Marcus did fine with it, and Abe is not so far from there, so definitely a little dairy in his food should be okay.

  Sorry-- it's been a while since I'd read any more about Abe and dairy, so I wasn't sure if you'd narrowed it down yet...

  I would think a little milk is fine too.  Someone told me that the reason they say to hold off on introducing milk prior to age 1 is because some people will stop using formula/bfing and use regular milk instead, then their baby would lack tons of nutrients.

  I agree that it should be fine. I would also love the recipe if you don't mind sharing!
