What...Are you also restricting soy from your diet? What I read while researching dairy intolerance for Asher is that about 50-60% of babies with a milk allergy are also allergic to soy. It's called "Milk Soy Protein Intolerance" (MSPI). If Ava's allergy seems to be worse, despite cutting all dairy out of your diet, it could be because she's also sensitive to soy. You could try eliminating that too...which I know is really hard, but might be worth a shot, if she seems to getting worse reactions.<br /><br />After 2 weeks of me being off dairy, Asher seems to be tolerating my breast milk much better. He is still getting bottles of 1/2 BM, 1/2 hypoallergenic formula but I'm transitioning him to less formula everyday.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07369871530985099865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406123004301272716.post-19778492974118898082010-05-29T21:14:50.411-05:002010-05-29T21:14:50.411-05:00As much as I am sure you hate to hear this...have ...As much as I am sure you hate to hear this...have you tried a non-dairy, hypo-allergenic formula with her to see if it helps? Even a day or two worth. An allergy getting worse instead of better is not a normal thing. What does her doctor say?<br /><br />At some point, if the allergy gets much worse, you either restrict your diet completely or find an alternative way to feed her that doesn't upset her.<br /><br />What matters is that she gets nutrition, not necessarily that it's from you...and I know that's hard to hear. <br /><br />Just food for thought...as your post points out, there's not much in this world that doesn't contain some kind of dairy.Xarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153088513567525516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406123004301272716.post-29246999237414370522010-05-29T21:08:50.261-05:002010-05-29T21:08:50.261-05:00What about non-wheat bread products?

Jack and I each bathed twice in a 12 hour period. Me, because I was elbow deep in dirty laundry water fishing out the wet clothes (eww!), and Jack, because he pooped up his back in the morning and it was easier to give him a bath. The joys of parenthood! At least it's the weekend!! I'm sorry you're going through all of this dairy stuff with Ava. I'm somewhat convinced that Jack now has some sort of dairy intolerance. I don't get it! Why haven't I heard more about this? I know you don't want to stop breastfeeding, but with the allergy getting worse, is that even an option now? Good luck with it. I'm impressed with all you are giving up!!Rene'https://www.blogger.com/profile/08762023093830971485noreply@blogger.com
