My son is 3 days old. Exclusively breastfed and he seems to be experiencing an allergy to my milk. I'm assuming a lactose allergy? Has anyone gone through this and it subsided on its own after a few days? Or did you have to give up eating dairy?

Question

Answer

Are those spots lasting and not going away? For the first week of my sons life, any time we picked him up, moved him around, or handled him in anyway, his skin would get red and blotchy with little bumps. It would go away within like 10 min of his body relaxing and not being touched. 
It’s called erythema toxicum neonatorum. A short-term and benign condition common in newborns

Answer

My son had this! It wasn't the typical newborn rash I forget what they called it but the spots would turn into like blisters with white and then just fade it seemed like it took forever to go away but it wasn't a milk allergy!

Answer

My daughter had a similar rash whenever she was born and it’s going away now that she is 10 days old. When I asked the nurse what it was she said that it was just a newborn rash.

Answer

It doesn’t look like a lactose issue - that wouldn’t cause a rash. It looks like an allergy - you’ll need to trial eliminations of dairy (for the protein part), soy, egg, nuts, wheat, and more. 
There are diet plans called the Total Elimination Diet (TED) that night help. Most babies tolerate lamb, pear, leek, and potato - then try more foods once the rash has subsided

Answer

It could be that I would talk to his pediatrician. If it is they can recommend a substitute. If it’s not then it could be something that you’re eating as well
