My LG has multiple allergies including cow’s milk and had similar symptoms. I was told it can take up to 21 days for the milk proteins to leave your system and stop passing through to baby. Have you been referred to a dietitian for further advice and support? 💕
Lactose is an intolerance to milk sugars whereas milk allergy is an immune allergic response to milk protein. Soya has similar protein which is why doctors say to cut out soya as well. It can take up to a month for your baby to fully clear of the proteins and the gut to heal again. Make sure baby is referred to an allergy clinic to check if it’s an IgE or non IgE allergy and to a dietician for support around diet management bf the milk ladder. Good luck! We are ten months in with my second boy and he’s allergic to pretty much everything 🤣 x
Aww thank you so much ❤️love peanut !!!! @Lauryn @Devon @Sophie
@Devon @Sophie we haven’t been referred yet, do I just ask my GP to be referred ?
@Mari Yeah I asked the GP and they sent referrals to the allergy clinic at our local hospital for skin prick testing and the paediatric dietitian x
It’s unlikely to be lactose that is the issue, it is the actual proteins in the milk. (They are different things) It can take 6-8 weeks for the proteins to fully work their way out of yours and baby’s systems. My girls poo’s have always been green when on normal formula and even now on amino acid based formula so that can be completely normal but keep an eye on the mucous. It could be something else like soya or eggs but dairy is usually the best place to start so give it some time ☺️
