For those who gave up foods (or LO was X free)

Kitten80 · July 2014

I have gone back awhile and didn't see this discussed. Although I could have missed it, especially if it was in a SPAM.

If you went dairy/soy/egg/other free with LO, 1. Have you added it/them back into your diet (and are you still bfing) and 2. Have you given LO anything with these foods in it? How did it go?

I gave up dairy because LO has reflux and dairy made it much worse. I slowly started eating limited amounts end of last month. I had our anniversary at Melting Pot so I held off, but I think I need to go dairy free again, but more for me

. It could be coincidence, but since adding it back in my allergies are much worse. I figure the best way to try and figure it out is to go completely dairy free again. On one hand, if it helps awesome to have some control. On the other hand

( milkshakes, cheese, nooooo. Ha ha.

I finally gave LO some cheese. So far, I haven't seen any signs of intolerance *knocks on wood* I hope this continues because I don't want to have to take it away - she got so excited when I took the cheese out today and she only had it once before.

I haven't started milk with her yet.

. She had a few bites of ice cream this weekend too. Maybe she will be ok with dairy...hoping so!

DD does fine with all dairy that we have tried now. I felt much better when I was not eating any and wish that it were easier to cut out. Maybe sometime I will try it again. I hope your LO can tolerate it! We haven't done milk yet, since I am still breastfeeding, but I don't anticipate her having any issues with it.

@hplusb - I'm breastfeeding still too. So glad to know I'm not the only one that hasn't introduced milk as well. Glad your LO tolerated it all well

I went without dairy and LO is still majorly allergic (hives, poopsplosions, etc) We've given some coconut milk and he's been better but he still gets bm majority of the time.

I went about 4 months dairy free. He was getting bad excezema. Since mid June I am eating it again and so is LO. No problems and we are still bfing.

@casey78 - I'm sorry!

LO was up last night and she had cheese with lunch. I'm hoping it was coincidence. :-S

I hope she outgrows some of these sooner rather than later. *hugs* you are an awesome,mama. That's a hard list of things to give up.

I'm terrified to try incorporating dairy again into either of our diets. Even the smallest sprinkle of cheese had Alexa up all night gassy and in pain a few months ago. It's so much easier to just avoid it all at this point. She is still breastfed...I'm scared to change things.

@WifeyLovesHubss I hear ya. Baby was up a good portion of the night - I'm hoping it was coincidence and not the cheese. It was easier avoiding dairy while I was in the swing of it. Now I am going to have to get through the withdrawal again.

@casey78 thanks. I feel very similarly. With my middle child, I started having a hard time with her bfing during my pregnancy (it made me want to scream and I couldn't stand it which was so sad for me). First time she got sick after she stopped bfing, I had such guilt. Especially since she is my miracle baby - she went through so much then, I have more guilt and fear when she gets sick. Props to those that have pumped this whole time.
