If I eat dairy, let's say a frozen yogurt, how long will my milk be affected by it?
I wonder how long the process of eating certain foods, their absorption into our blood stream and then into our breast milk is.
does anyone know?
DS has a milk protein allergy. If I eat a piece of pizza for dinner around 6 pm, he starts waking up every hour around 11 pm. He'll be fine by the next morning. So in my experience, it affects him from about 5 hours after until about 14 hours after.
Also, I have read that if you eat a lot of dairy on a daily basis, it can take up to 2 weeks to fully get out of your system, and up to 2 weeks to fully get out of your LO's system.
I have been dairy free since DS was 6 weeks, and my example is just for if I eat ONE piece of pizza, and nothing else with dairy.

Hope that helps.
