Inspire me -did anyone have success w/colic/gas from cutting out dairy in your own diet while nursing? #1 had milk protein allergy, and #2 is fast going the same route. But it is so hard to give up cheese, milk -they are staples for me. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I had to give up milk, too, and it was pretty central to my diet. It has been a LOT easier than i thought; soy milk is not bad, there are alternatives and eventualy i just got used to it (6 months now). [ Reply | More

Giving up dairy was very difficult, but I did do it. Don't look at it as being a permanent thing, once you clear it out of your systme over a period of say 1-2 months and baby's symptoms improve, you can start slowly introducing it back in often times. [ Reply | More

I don't understand. Isomil has milk protein. Your child couldn't handle it if he'she really has an allergy. [ Reply | More

np: sometimes things are diagnosed as milk protein intolerance in BF infants are really not that. it could be a sensitivity to something else in the mother's diet also. [ Reply | More

I also gave up dairy--no milk allergies but dc spit up constantly and the ped said it might help. I THINK it helped, but I was never really certain. On the bright side, I lost the babt weight very quickly--I almost couldn't think of anything to eat without cheese, yogurt, and ice cream! [ Reply | More
