Re: DD is 8 months, can she try vanilla ice cream?
Definitely, but I wouldn't try one of the high end ice creams (like hagen das) because they contain eggs.
My kids tried it around that age, maybe even a little younger.

eggs aren't a problem at this age or no? my ped. said she can have egg now... and said the same at 6-7 months.

I don't give my DS cookie dough ice cream or the chocolate chips. Other than that, he's tried it all.

Not sure about the stuff that's commercially available, but homemade ice cream is made with raw eggs, which is not suitable for babies.
As for ice cream, yes I would definitely let her taste, but I wouldn't give her a portion to eat because of the sugar.

I was told no eggs until after 9 months and then only egg whites until 1 year.

As long as there is not a sensitivity to cow's milk- I can't do anything dairy related until 1.

I used to give Eddie the sugar free vanilla or a sugar free ice from Ralphs all the time when he was a baby. Go for it!

and we were told only egg yolk until over 1 year
I have given DS ice cream and he liked it.
We were told no chocolate though, so he has had every flavor but chocolate.
I love how every ped has a different opinion - you would think they would all be on the same page

Ann's tasted homemade whipped cream from a sundae I had at Peter Luger's but not the ice cream. I agree about the sugar - I just don't see the need to give it to her now.

Re: DD is 8 months, can she try vanilla ice cream?
I guess KJ has to hold off due to the milk protein allergy  I plan to ask my ped about this, like can he have nothing with dairy in it? Should we retest him for the allergy?

Manny vanilla ice creams believe it or not have eggs in them. I would be really careful!

ooops... that's what I meant... egg yolks until after a year, then whole egg was okay.
