the cold seems like its a dairy allergy, which would stick around since as you said shes constantly drinking milk.

i agree, also shes not eating enough iron rich foods or even veges to get enough vitamins to sustain her. she needs to start taking some EFA's because shes on the low fat milk, kids at this age need fat, but i have heard of alot of peds and WIC etc reccomending 2% after 2.

they really need to get a full blood screen on her, anemia or other vitamin defiencys can start to cause serious damage to her poor overtaxed body as it is.

so just give her fruit flavouring, and artificial dyes instead of real food?!?
| Oh yeah, the ped. also told her that instead of feeding her fruits and veggies, she could just drink pedialyte five times a day. |
