Adjusting diet for BF?

I just did a soy challenge on my boy.

What I did was have some soy ice cream & then waited to see how long it would appear in him, if at all.

We had an epic fail!

I ate a normal serve at about 9 at night, within 15 mins I was wheezing & had to take my inhalor then I woke the next morning with a massive headache & felt like crap & didn't want to go far from the house.

The first he feed off me was 6am the next morning. He'd slept through. About 6pm he did the most aweful poo which I delegated to DH & then discovered it had gone down his legs. He also didn't sleep the whole night. Skin was red through the nappy area as well, where as earlier during the day it was nice & pink. Not sure what is going to happen today.

What I had planned on doing was having some ice cream each night & see what happened. We both reacted so quickly that I've knocked that on the head. The other thing I was going to do was drink a glass of soy milk at lunch time. I might give that a go next week & see how he goes with that, although I'm really unsure about it.

So I would start just by drinking a standard glass of milk each day & see how she goes. Based on what happened to me you should see a reaction in 24 hours. Drink one glass at the same time each day & see what her tolerance level is. It could take a few days? If I had dairy usually the next day or two I'd see some chunky spilling. But I usually only have a one off sneaky of something dairy.

Do you eat much potato?

I had to cut dairy out in absolutely everything. What else are you eating in case I can see something obvious.

Ok, so reintroducing dairy was an epic fail! I ended up defrosting the dairy-free BM in the freezer because she was screaming constantly at the boob

What's the problem with potato? I don't eat very much potato, but will probably eat more if I'm going dairy free as I'll have to rethink a fair few of our regular meals.

I eat bread most days. Other than that, just fruit and veges from the garden mostly. I try and not eat heaps of one thing on any one day. Oh, and we eat plenty of meat, but it's *proper* homekill meat, not processed full of stuff so I doubt it's that.

Not all bread Julia AND i just discovered NW has dairy free hot crossed buns!!!!!

Potato can cause reflux as well. I first noticed this when weaning. He ate a cube of peas & potato, it all went down his gob & I was thinking yay & then he threw it all up! I have noticed if I have a lot of potato he also is really unsettled. Small amounts seem ok in our case. Just be aware of it just in case.

I eat a lot of toast with golden syrup Countdown has dairy free & bad preservative free bread, there basic white loaf & their wholemeal loaf.

I also have porridge for breakfast & sometimes Pams wheat biscuits, but you'd have to see if she reacts to wheat first. Salada crackers are dairy free as well.

If you need a creamy pasta dish like I do, just make a white sauce with rice milk & add in one teaspoon of salt & it tastes like a cheese sauce. I throw this over pasta & it's wonderful
