I see it as it's your kid. if you've discuss it with the doctor and they say its okay then forget what everyone else says. i talked to my daughter's doctor before I gave her anything that contained cow's milk and he said it's fine so she was eating things like Mac n cheese and chocolate pudding even some hamburger helpers she even had some cereal before she was one and he said it's fine but she couldn't drink straight milk out of a cup or such. which again made no sense to me why she was able to eat things that contained cow's milk but not straight cows milk from a sippy cup, but he's the doctor he went to school for it I did not.
