~*~*MSPI Moms Weekly Check-In*~*~
Welcome! This is a check-in for moms who are/were on a dairy free and/or soy free diet due to their LO's intolerance. The check-ins will be posted every Monday morning on the Breastfeeding board and XP'd to the Food Allergy board. If you'd like to join the group, just post an intro here and dive in! To check out the archive of our previous check-ins, please see the MSPI Moms Blog (www.mspimoms.blogspot.com).
1. How are you doing? How is your LO doing?
2. Any other burning questions you'd like answered or experiences to share?
3. I need another volunteer to take over the check-ins. 
Anyone interested?

1. How are you doing? How is your LO doing?
We are doing well. I tried almonds last week and DD's diapers turned runny and mucusy for the next 3 days, so it looks like I'll be avoiding tree nuts. It's disappointing, but at least she does ok with peanuts. I've also given her wheat and eggs directly with no problems. There were several instances where I seriously considered eliminating wheat and eggs (the only things in the top 8 I hadn't cut out) so I'm glad I didn't unnecessarily cut them out.
2. Any other burning questions you'd like answered or experiences to share?
I saw an allergist last week, for myself due to some sinus issues. I mentioned DD's MSPI status and he was genuinely surprised that I had cut out soy. He was adamant that soy protein does not transfer into breastmilk, and said that only milk and peanuts could possibly cause a reaction. DD has had definite reactions to soy, but I didn't press it because I had been there for 4 hours doing allergy testing and was tired. If DD does need to see an allergist in the future, I don't think I'll be going to him.
3. I need another volunteer to take over the check-ins. Anyone interested?
I can do it if no one else wants to...I'm not the best with the bump (note my rogue ticker that starts and stops on its own and refuses to be deleted), but I've really benefited from the check-in and would hate to see it go away.
1. How are you doing? How is your LO doing? Things are good. My do not eat list is long but it's completely worth it for DD. I'm starting to feel a little anxious about introducing solids within the next month. But, it has to happen some time.
2. Any other burning questions you'd like answered or experiences to share? I haven't had an alcoholic beverage since a couple months before I got pregnant with DD2, so well over a year. We have friends coming into town next month. Is it safe for me to have a glass wine? I could take it or leave it anyway but figured I should be sure before even considering. I read wine can contain casein, so seems like I'd need to find a vegan one. Doesn't sound worth the effort, lol..
3. I need another volunteer to take over the check-ins.
Anyone interested? Aw, I feel bad that you haven't been able to unload this. I'll take it over, if no one is willing.
2) Nothing right now!
3) I would do it, but I feel like I get to spend less and less time on here lately.
