I have a 2 mo old son with a suspected milk allergy. I have seen mucus in his stool and he is VERY
fussy at night after nursing all day. I have eliminated milk from diet with no change in baby. I do not want to stop breastfeeding – HELP!
The doctor suspects milk allergy. I have to give one bottle per day to get baby ready for daycare, that is when the crying started (3 weeks old)…we have switched from milk based to soy formula and now nutramigen. He is also on Zantac to see if it is acid reflux.

Answer by Lanie
Who suspects the allergy? Is it you or his doctor? Are you sure he isn’t colic? Sounds a bit like colic to me. My baby girl was colic and sounds just llike yours. If you havent already, check with his doctor about these symptoms. It is rare that breastfed babies have allergic reaction to what you eat. It can happen, but it isn’t extremely common.

My son is 8 months old and I’ve been breastfeeding. Here is the reason I am thinking of quitting.

He’s allergic to milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, and bananas.

I’ve been diligently ( I think) keeping these things out of my diet for the past 2 months. It is so hard though, and I’m not eating right..not getting enough protein, etc. However, it is so hard because these products are in EVERYTHING!

The allergist says the only way to outgrow the allergies is to not have the foods in the diet at all. So if I mess up and eat something, it affects him. I also wonder what else he’s sensitive to in my diet.

At this point, I think special formula (Neocate or Neutramagin) might actually be better for him in the long run. What do you think?

This is going to be hard for me as I love cheese and milk with cookies (and we just went shopping and got a big container of cookies!!!)
but for the sake of breastfeeding my 4 month old I will do what it takes.
Did you have to go through this? How did you deal? Did you baby grow out of it?
