Babies with dairy allergies what was your child’s first reaction like? And how old were they? My son was allergic to dairy but he was a bit older when we found out and it was definitely noticeable. I think my daughter might be allergic as well!
So she just has a sensitivity but not a allergy right? Did she get any hives or anything on her face?
@mommakaylax3, correct not an allergy at this point. No hives.
@ekko, oh wow that’s scary!! My son is allowed to eat anything dairy now just can’t drink straight milk. He can have milkshakes and stuff
@mommakaylax3, Thank you! Good luck with figuring things out with your daughter! It’s definitely stressful.
My daughter was presumably born with a dairy allergy but was continually misdiagnosed until she was 9 months. She always spit up her food, breast milk and formula ( primarily bm), she didn't get better with any meds they gave her for acid reflux. She screamed and was clearly uncomfortable until she was about six months. She had horrible eczema (the worst a dermatologist had seen on a baby) she would itch her eczema to the point where it bled and nothing helped it. looking back she had swollen eyes from basically the beginning. I took her to countless doctors to try to find out what was wrong.
She had an ear infection and I took her to see a different doctor in the practice. She suggested soy formula and a dairy free diet for me since I was breast feeding too after looking at my daughter's eczema that weekend. It seemed like the soy formula helped overnight. After that I was referred to an allergist who did blood work to confirm that kiddo had a dairy allergy.
@mommakaylax3 it's probably a dairy allergy. My mom accidentally gave kiddo lactose free yogurt instead of dairy free and she broke out in hives. I would see an allergist to confirm and get tests done
@massgirl, I’m going to. I can either do a blood test or the back prick. Ugh I definitely don’t want to go through with another kid having an allergy it’s so rough I feel like
@mommakaylax3 I personally went with the blood work so there would be no errors. Plus sitting still in an office would have been harder for me trying to keep her still after she got pricked
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
My daughters sensitivity wasn’t apparent until after a year old. We tried switching to dairy milk and no matter how slow we did it she started puking again and went from sleeping through every night to never sleeping through but waking up crying inconsolably for hrs wanting more milk! This explains a little better why her reflux was so bad until about 7 months. I suspect she may grow out of it because we did have a few 7-12 months old seemingly without issue like she got used to it. For now she is on flax milk and we avoid most dairy foods.
