Milk and milk proteins are in a lot of factory made food items that you wouldn’t expect them to be in. She should’ve been warned about that by whoever is managing D’s allergy (presumably the GP at this stage).I can imagine it is actually quite hard to not slip up, especially an ingredient like dairy as its in places you wouldn't expect.... like donuts. But after the first time I'd have moved to formula for sure. Newborns are haaaard. Being a new mum is haaaard. Just stop being a martyr and give the baby the bottle and get on with the next thing.
This is absolutely spot on! Jody you read here, we know you do. Please take this advice and make a decision that is best for both you and your baby as right now you're both suffering.Milk and milk proteins are in a lot of factory made food items that you wouldn’t expect them to be in.

Given her prickly message about BF being ‘best for babies with allergies’ following a DM asking her why she is insisting on doing it given the continued problems, you’d think she’s done some reading and might’ve read it along the way. The reply would suggest she’s done some background reading anyway as BF *is* generally better for allergy prone babies in that it can help reduce further allergies developing BUT as she said that relies heavily on mums being strict with their own exposure. Otherwise, it isn’t actually better and when it goes awry it causes multiple harms. It harms mum’s mental health and the relationship between mum and baby (mum feels like shit for hurting baby and massively guilty for ‘failing’ and ‘not being good enough’). On the physical end for the baby, it exposes them to agents it is known to be allergic to (not just potential sensitivity risks), causing pain, distress and increased risk of severe reactions.
Watch your own story Jodie. It’s only better if you are able to stick to the rules and not slip up. Milk and milk derivatives are in a lot of mass produced foods. You need to check everything that passes your lips for as long as you are feeding him. It’s not easy or fun but there is an alternative if you can’t manage it and it would appear that you are struggling as there have been quite a few ‘slip ups’, where your baby has been in gastrointestinal distress due to unintentional ingestion of dairy. You’ve got a choice to make; get serious about cutting dairy and milk derivatives out, or give up breastfeeding. Both are fine but it is unfair on you son to try and do this half-way house.
Honestly blows my mind that she’s giving it away knowing full well mice have lived, peed and pooped in it. How can she do that in good conscience! I’d feel awful, I’d have to send to the tip!Oh gosh someone is collecting the sofa!
