We took our 3 year old son to an aleergist at around age one.  We were told he had a mild allergy to milk but that we could still give it to him.  We instead put him on soy formula and then soy milk.  Would it be safe to give him real cow's milk?  He is not allergic to dairy or whole milk.  We were just trying to play it safe.

An allergy is the immune system's over-reaction to a normally harmless substance called an allergen.
