Answer 1

Hi there dear. I want to congratulate you on your wonderful decision to breastfeed you baby. It is an incredibly intelligent, loving thing for you to do.
I have had a great deal of experience with breastfeeding and all aspects of breastfeeding infants. I am actually not familair with the recommendation of limiting the mothers diet in order to control an allergy that the baby has. I do know that infants that have eczema have been restricted from being fed any cows milk or cows milk products and also from eating eggs. Still, these things may be eaten by the mother as they will not effect the breast milk. Are you positive that the doctor meant that YOU should not eat these things? Are you sure that he was not cautioning you from letting the baby eat either of these things?
I am sure that you heard what the doctor said but I know how easily things can become confused. I have done extensive research into all matters that pretain to breastfeeding as I am studying to be a Lactation Consultant. I also successfully breastfeed all four of my babies until they were well over one year old and I have never heard of restricting the mothers diet in this way.
Either way, just be sure that you do continue to breastfeed as that is the very best thing for a baby that has any type of allergy. Many babies are actually unable to tolerate anything but their mothers milk!
Take care and good luck. I am very happy to hear that you are breastfeeding your baby. You are certainly a very loving and aware mother. You have every reason to be proud of what a good job you are doing.
Love and Blessings

Yes by all means, as you keep exposing your baby to the allergen you are making the chances for a even worse allergic reaction to happen, ie: respiratory distress.
Go to www.infantrefulxdisease.com
your child might not have reflux but there is a ton of info on the elimination diet for breastfeeding and caring for an allergic infant.
Myself... well my child which is 18 months now is on ellecare formula which is totally milk and soy free (its 50 dollars a can).



By the way yes to the person bellows answer the cows milk and dairy does effect the cows milk.. this person has not dealt with allergist and a gi specialist like I have had to. Any element of the allergen being given to the baby will cause an allergic reaction.

Breastfeeding makes use of up multiple energy. The greater the toddler nurse, the greater weight you will lose. And no remember how plenty you nurse them, it won't have the capacity to break them, so that is large. =) I have been given as much as 213 while i became prego. I ate plenty once I gave beginning and that i gradually set out to a hundred and fifty five by utilising the time my toddler became 9 months previous. i all started strolling around 6 weeks after giving beginning yet different than that, i do no longer workout. i do no longer recognize if those consequences are universal even though it became constantly truly stressful for me to drop some pounds before this. As for ingredients you won't have the capacity to consume mutually as breastfeeding, there are some issues yet no longer as much as once you're pregnant. quite plenty in simple terms no alcohol or caffeine. Your toddler must be comfortable to precise ingredients you consume although, like vegetables, fairly spiced nutrition, or dairy. i will consume something truly and it would not disillusioned mine now yet while she became a new child I had to be careful with my weight-help plan or she have been given colic indications.

Not milk free. Try soy milk and other non dairy milks. Also try to avoid lots of peanut butter if possible.
