Breastfeeding with milk allergy/discouraged šŸ˜ž

Olivia

So I recently posted asking if there was blood in my babies poop. I ended up taking her and they confirmed she has a milk/protein allergy.

The dr said it was merely impossible to be dairy/soy free so I just need to give her formula.

My family and friends and making me feel like shit asking questions likes

ā€œWhat’s wrong with you, you need to get checked out, your probably giving her somethingā€

ā€œAre you pregnant again?ā€

ā€œYou need to supplement something for her she needs to be more heartyā€

ā€œYou should’ve started solids at 4 months you’re doing her a disserviceā€

ā€œShe can’t sit by herself yet? She needs to be fed something more nutritious so she can get strongerā€

I’m just at a loss. Not to mention the whole dr appointment was the worst day ever. I got lost, took 6 hours to have them run test screening for cancer because she had blood in her stool but the dr never explained to me what labs they were doing. Then I get the stuff from the lab I have to attached a u bag to her to catch her urine and collect her poop, I do all that (so hard to do & it made me so emotional) I go drop it off at the lab & it’s the wrong test they didn’t even order urine for her & I needed to collect her poop In a different cup.

Then family is taking it personal saying I dont make them feel like family because I was scared after hearing them screening for cancer I didn’t want to talk about her symptoms or anything until I had those results back.

I’m just so exhausted. I’m beat. I’m trying so hard to do my best.

I already cut out dairy and I’m working on cutting out soy & just meal prepped my meals for the week so I don’t chance me being hungry & eating the wrong thing.

Anyone else breastfeeding & their little one have an allergy?

Am I selfish for continuing breastfeeding? Should I just give up & give her hypoallergenic formula?

Idk I’m just so sad, stressed, overwhelmed. Blahh.
