Anyone have a baby with a milk protien allergy?

Question

My two month old has started randomly throwing up now and I'm not sure what to do about it. I plan to call the doctor tomorrow to see what they say. Since I'm lactose intolerant I don't eat a lot of dairy anyways, but recently I've been eating a lot of cheese and she's been throwing up (like projectile) at least once a day. I know babies spit up, but this is definitely not spit up. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them?

Answer

My little boy has milk allergies and has acid reflux. He is breast and formula fed. I have to monitor my dairy intake and he’s on nutramigen (spelling?) formula. If you get wic they will provide with a prescription from the pediatrician. We had to place a foam wedge under his mattress to lift him a bit and we don’t put him down for 15/20 mins after each feeding. We put him in swing, bouncer, or hold him to give milk time to settle. I also have heard babies sometimes do better with liquid formula vs powder because the powder seems to put more bubbles in the baby’s tummy from shaking it up. Gripe water works and is all natural.

Answer

We are dealing with that too. Since she is breastfed, I have to cut both dairy and soy out of my diet. Just started so hopefully will see a difference soon.

Answer

We had to put my daughter on puramino which is truly hypoallergenic because she was still having symptoms on alimentum and soy. 
I would start with nutramagin or alimentum first though because it might be better for baby to not be breastfed unless you are willing to cut out all dairy, even hidden sources in processed foods. 
Doctor is a good starting point though.

Answer

My daughter has been spitting up quite a bit for the past few weeks. She’s not vomiting but sometimes she spits up so much I have to change her clothes as well as mine. Her tummy also aches pretty often, and you can tell she’s in a lot of pain. Our pediatrician asked me to stop eating dairy for a week to see if there are any changes. I stopped on Thursday afternoon and so far the only difference I noticed was that there were almost no poopy diapers since then. I posted about this earlier today. Not sure it’s related. Other moms responded to my post saying it can take a long time for milk protein to get out of your system so I’ll continue with my diet and hopefully it will help my daughter feel better. Sorry I don’t have any advice to give you, but I think you should definitely talk to your pediatrician and see what they say. It’s so stressful not knowing what is making our little ones sick!
