Breastfeeding moms, anyone notice their baby is sensitive to dairy in your diet?

Question

breastfeeding moms, anyone notice their baby is sensitive to dairy in your diet?" /> Our 11 week old spits up all the time so our daycare provider requested that I stop eating dairy to see if that helps. Anyone experience something like this?

Answer

I can't believe your daycare provider asked you to do that. That's not their call, in my opinion! My baby spits up a lot too and I had a conversation about dairy with my pediatrician a long time ago. He said that it is actually very rare for a baby to have a dairy allergy. Spitting up just comes with the territory of having a baby. If they are still gaining wait and healthy, there is no need to worry about spit up. Your daycare provider should just suck it up and deal with the spit up.

Answer

The only time you should get rid of dairy in your diet is if your baby has an allergy. Babies have weak valves or spinctures to their stomachs so they spit up a lot. It's totally normal... just a laundry issue.

Answer

Spit up is totally normal. A dairy sensitivity is would have other symptoms associated with it; vommitting, rash, diarrhea.  Your daycare provider should stick to her day job 🙄

Answer

Yes, at a month & a half we found out he's sensitive to dairy but it was really bad so I had to stop breastfeeding to clean my milk ☹️ now he's barely breastfeeding 😥 it's devastating....but I've been surviving since without dairy in my diet. He's 3 months today and I'm used to my diet but struggling to build my milk supply back

Answer

I think my baby is prone to gas anyway but I noticed he is much better when I'm not eating dairy.  I eat mostly vegan anyway so it was pretty easy to cut out the little bit I was eating.  I have about 150 ounces of milk in the freezer that I'll save for when hes older and can tolerate it more.

Answer

Yes. I've been dairy free for 3 weeks now because of this. My daughter was constipated, constantly puking, and has eczema really bad. It's all slowly getting better. Good luck if you do it, it's not easy at.first, but it's bearable. Most things that are dairy products are also made in nondairy as well for a little extra money of course

Answer

My son has a slight allergy to milk protein (that we found through a blood test during a random ER visit). So I've cut it out of my diet. He still spits up a good bit (less than before) but the consistency is not as chunky as it was when I was eating dairy.

He also had eczema that has gone away now that I've cut it out as well.

Answer

I agree with Nicole.

Does baby have diarrhea constantly? In pain?

Answer

Yes. At two weeks my daughter had severe diarrhea (like every 15-20 minutes), a horrible diaper rash that appeared within hours, and screamed in pain for hours upon hours. I stopped dairy and in 24 hours the diarrhea and screaming stopped. I tried a TINY amount of dairy a month later and about within 7 or so hours the screaming and diarrhea started. I waited another month and tried the same amount of dairy (literally the same food) and she had no reaction. I am waiting another two weeks and trying some more. It was no surprise to me that dairy would cause an issue. Me and my three siblings couldn't have it until we were a few years old. My Mom still can't. It sucks because I have celiacs disease so I have to stay away from gluten and dairy now. I use to drink three 16oz glasses of milk a day. 😭

Answer

The best way to be sure it's dairy is to cut it out of your diet AND reintroduce it afterwards.
