DH and I are both lactose intolerant; as a baby I was actually on soy formula and DH had tons of issues which they didn't realize were lactose intolerance for a number of years.

I EP and do have some dairy in my diet in terms of yogurt and cheese, but no straight cows milk - I use Lactaid, soy milk, or rice milk.

DS has been fine thus far, but I wonder if there would be any pros/cons to trying him on some milk-based formula (versus soy) before he we try cows milk when he turns one. During his first two weeks, he did have some regular Similac formula and was quite fussy - whether that was just 'him' at the time or was a product of the Similac, I don't know. We did use some soy Similac after that and he's tolerated it just fine.

I have a substantial amount of milk in the freezer and am attempting to figure out how to wean myself from the pump and what we'll do for DS after that milk is eventually gone.
