Hey Adam Kim!
Today you turned one years old. Time just flew, didn’t it? I still remember when we brought you home from the hospital. I am so happy to be your mom. I love watching you grow, learn, and play.
I thought that when you turned one, everything would all come together. We would continue to have fun adventures and make tons of new memories.
But…
It all went downhill. I was excited to get you started on cow’s milk since we were giving you formula after my breast milk supply ran out. Everything seemed fine at first. Then, you had red spots around your mouth every time you drank the cow’s milk. Another allergy? I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t want to believe it. Appa and I tried different types of cow’s milk, but the results were all the same. Red spots around your mouth. You never complained though and drank the milk happily.
However, one night, after your final milk, you developed hives and red spots everywhere. I felt so bad. It turns out you were allergic to the cow’s milk. The doctors didn’t really believe it especially since you were totally fine with breast milk and infant formula (which you were on for a few weeks). But, the results were clear. We had you start on soy milk and you had no reactions whatsoever. I hope you get over this cow’s milk allergy.
Love,
Umma
