Common Questions and Answers about Milk allergy in infants breastfeeding

milk

Avatar n tn Hi! Congratulations on the birth of your baby! I have 4 children, all were breastfed, and one had milk allergy. She didn't have bloody stools when she came in contact with milk, but did get severe hives, even if she just touched milk. She didn't outgrow this until she was 2. I too had to stop drinking all dairy products. Lookout for milk hidden in certain products, like candy bars, and processed foods. You can check out the food allergy network for products that are milk free.
Avatar f tn I feel Gerd and milk allergy are grossly overdiagnosed in infants. Lactose overload has been diagnosed in breast-fed infants now - and I believe it is also found in babies.
Avatar f tn Hello, Most of the breast-fed babies develop lactose intolerance which usually self corrects but not always if it is a cow milk or a formula milk "problem" or allergy/intolrance with some dietary ingredient. Most babies with milk allergy are allergic to cow’s milk protein, while others are allergic to soy protein, and some to both. Breast-fed infants normally have stools that look like watery, yellow cottage cheese.
Avatar m tn safety of antiviral therapy during pregnancy and lactation; and the difference in viral load in the milk in exclusive or non-exclusive breastfeeding are still open questions. The paper reviews the current data and outlines the course of further investigation into this often underestimated issue.
Avatar m tn You could replace the milk with goat milk, soy milk, or rice milk. In the future, as your child gets older, avoiding things like chocolate, cheese, and even eggs at restaurants (since milk is often added) would be a good idea. The good thing about lactose intolerance is that it can go away as your child gets older. Mine went away when I was around 12 or 13. For the time being, switching to a milk alternative would most likely be the best route for your baby. Good luck you you and your family.
961466 tn?1247550382 Please take her to the hospital or dr and have them do an ultrasound to check for pyloric stenosis if they rule that out it could be a milk protein allergy in which you would have to eliminate all milk from your diet if breastfeeding or you need to switch formula. But please have your dr rule out pyloric stenosis asap. If she is not keeping anything down you should consider taking her to the hospital, infants dehydrate VERY quickly.

906115 tn?1344200509 I'm not lactose intolerant but I have a true milk allergy which is very rare in adults. I was diagnosed as a child but when I went to the allergist recently they said no way I would have grown out of it but when they tested me sure enough like I said I was still allergic.
Avatar f tn t handle regular similac at the hospital. ..We found out she had a milk allergy, so the hospital switched her to enfamil prosobee. .definitely helped. She kept her food down. My daughter has horrible gas pains. ..like hours of screaming kinda pain. She's now 3 months old still has gas pains but nothing nearly as bad as before. 1. If bottle feeding, feed her in an upright/sitting position. 2. Burp her often. Especially once she drinks more. ..burp her after every ounce. 3.
Avatar f tn Not just that but smoke clings to your hair, clothes, skin, hands. .. I can't even count the number of sick infants and toddlers I've cared for in the hospital with bad respiratory infections, asthma or croup with parents who smoke. Even though they go out side the hospital to smoke while their child is admitted they come back smelling awful and their small hospital room is so full of that stench that it's hard for a healthy person to breathe.
362203 tn?1248810310 As far as safety, a number of studies have found no alteration in thyroid function, or effects on thyroid function and physical and intellectual development in infants who are breastfed by mothers treated with daily doses of PTU, ranging from 50 to 300 mg, methimazole at doses of 5 to 20 mg, and carbimazole at doses of 5 to 15 mg) for as long as eight months.
Avatar n tn The breasts are stimulated to produce milk by the baby’s sucking. Giving a Breastfeed can be summarized in 3 simple steps: The Rooting Reflex – Bring your baby’s cheek near to the breast gently. Infants can see 8 – 10 inches. Baby will turn towards your breast immediately with an open – mouth. Latching – You must have heard that once a good latching is done, everything else will follow nicely. Baby should take the nipple and a good proportion of areola into his mouth.
Avatar f tn The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children is a federal assistance program of the Food and Nutrition Service of the United States Department of Agriculture for healthcare and nutrition of low-income pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and infants and children under the age of five.
Avatar f tn They were all breast fed. Everyones milk supply is different. I have a really small amount of milk that I make. I was never able to produce more than 2 oz at a time. The babies just had more frequent feedings. I think this is why mine went through constipation, or so I thought. A breastfeeding infant can actually have between 12 bm's a day or 1 every five days and still be normal. I believe the more milk you produce the more bm's the baby has and vice versa.
1371160 tn?1303508772 This is what my grandmother used for my mother and uncles as formula when they were infants. I'm not certain as to what all she put in it, but the base was evaporated milk. I know that their fine and all of that, but formula has come a long way since those days. I would be very hesitant to use evaporated milk as a formula since there's many other vitamins and nutrients that the baby may or may not be able to get from the added poly vi sol.
Avatar f tn The girl is not expecting nor is she breastfeeding, I doubt that this was breast milk caue of the aforementioned reasons. Now my questions are 1.) Was this an exposure? 2.) Should I take PEP for this if it was an exposure?
Avatar m tn Soy allergy is most common in children, especially toddlers and infants. As you grow older, your digestive system matures and your body is less likely to absorb food or food components that trigger allergies. In some cases, people who are allergic to wheat, beans (legumes), milk or other foods can have an allergic reaction to soy. You can confirm this by blood test to see for raised IgE levels and skin testing for soy products.
Avatar f tn He does however have a severe Milk allergy that he may not outgrow. He also has severe GERD, worse than expected, so he is scheduled for an Upper GI at childrens hospital next week. The Pediatric GI took Conner off of Prevacid(will explain at the end of this update) but raised his Zantac to the max which is 1.5 ML's twice daily. He also has me giving him 1 tsp of Dark Karo syrup 2-3 times a day mixed in his bottle for constipation(it's working).
Avatar f tn with my first daughter she got constipated alot and even when she grew older she had to drink soy milk and lactose free milk. Hope your baby feels better.
Avatar f tn All babies can tell if you have milk. I work in childcare with infants and when I have been pregnant or breastfeeding the babies will try to find it if they are breastfed.
4545793 tn?1394592544 I just stick to rice cereal, apples, pears, sweet potato and corn, and stay away from strawberries, peanut butter, eggs, and anything that they say can cause an allergy. I'm going to get Bailey some baby yogurts in the shopping tomorrow, i reckon he'll like those too.
Avatar f tn re wanting to help dry up faster so the pain goes away then it sounds crazy but put cabbage leaves in your bra. The veins in it soaked up the milk and don't cause you to produce more. That's what I did. Plus them being cold helped with the soreness as well. If you're still wanting to try breastfeeding then do what's said above. Good luck and congratulations on your son!
