“My 3mo LO has a handful of protein intolerances so I don’t eat anything with dairy/soy/gluten. It’s not usually a problem, but last week I was served something with dairy (host thought I meant lactose free) and I wished I could have just given her formula for a few days. But she…”
“I'm allergic to peanuts and tree nuts, I'm currently breastfeeding my son who's 3 months and he's showing signs of CMPA (been having mucasy stools on and off, stuffy nose, body tension, but now 4+ diapers with tinges of blood in them too) already been reaching out to his dr…”
“I’m a 1 month post-partum first time mom. After a rough start with an excruciatingly painful week of engorgement and brush with mastitis, my breastfeeding journey has been close to ideal. My baby latches with ease, exclusively takes my breastmilk, goes between my nipple and the…”

“Has anyone here been prescribed antibiotics while breastfeeding, continued to breastfeed, and thereafter their baby started having allergies (like CMPA or soy)? I was prescribed Bactrim for mastitis about a month ago and since then, baby seems to have developed CMPA and soy allergies. Not…”
“My 3mo LO has a handful of protein intolerances so I don’t eat anything with dairy/soy/gluten. It’s not usually a problem, but last week I was served something with dairy (host thought I meant lactose free) and I wished I could have just given her formula for a few days. But she hates the hypoallergenic formula — she gags at even a 1:20 ratio of formula:pumped milk. Even if we can get her used to it slowly, I can’t imagine she’d choose it over breastmilk, and I’m worried she’ll reject bottles al”

For those that are dairy fre”
“Hi friends! Is there compelling evidence that cutting out allergens as a breastfeeding mother will cause future food allergies? My 4 month old has had mucus in his poop since he was born. We’ve tested on 3 separate occasions, and he’s never had any blood. He’s also had reflux, been slower to gain weight, and pretty consistently uncomfortable. He’s dropped from the 78th percentile at birth, hovering around 20 the last few weeks. We’ve gone to his pediatrician and 2 GI specialists (plus 2 differen”
“hi! not asking for medical advice here but more diet advice-have you breastfed a baby with multiple food allergies and what did/do you do about your own diet? my 4th baby has been recently diagnosed with IgE mediated food allergies to peanuts, most tree nuts, eggs, and dairy. i have gotten conflicting advice from medical professionals about whether i personally need to remove his allergens from MY diet while breastfeeding him. i know some amount of the proteins he is allergic to transfer thro th”
“There are certain things I eat that seem to make my baby for fussy. Will this continue the whole time we breastfeed or will he out grow this? (Of note- baby does have CMPA so dairy absolutely triggers him and causes blood but there are other non dairy things that seem to cause him to fuss but no blood.) submitted by /u/Crispy_Peach [link] [comments]”
“Can anyone dumb it down for me, is it possible to test if my breastfed child has cmpa or is disagreeing with something else I ate (soy, corn etc) I know you can do a blood test for allergies that cause an actual allergic reaction like hives, anaphylaxis etc. My child is on omeprazole for silent reflux but I feel like it’s barely working & would like to cut out whatever is genuinely bothering her & im already dairy free. submitted by /u/positivefeb2026 [link] [comments]”
“Is there any clear cut determination of how long allergens stay in your breastmilk? Example: my 3 month old has a suspected dairy & soy allergy/intolerance. No blood in stools or rash, just gas/colic/reflux. Anyway, I have cut out both but if i selfishly want to indulge in something with dairy and/or soy, are there studies or anything showing how long they would be present in my milk? I have a decent freezer stash of DF/SF milk so hypothetically could I give him that for x amount of time unt”
“My baby is 2 months old and exclusively breastfed. Around 5 weeks, after I moved from the US to Asia to live with my husband, I started noticing some changes. She sometimes screams when I put her on the breast , poops almost after every feed, and spits up/vomits if I don’t burp her. I first noticed mucus in her poop about a week ago , and yesterday her poop looked frothy/foamy . She doesn’t have blood in her stool, eczema, or a rash, and she is otherwise doing well and gaining weight. Could this”
“Is there anyone who dealt with CMPA during breastfeeding but despite abstaining from dairy and soy, the blood in the stool continues (a few drops) even after 5 weeks? Has it happened to you that it could be something else or did the stool take too long to clear up? Maybe it's a food that we don't know from the start that contains milk or soy, for example. submitted by /u/Reasonable_Floor_101 [link] [comments]”
“After seeing small bits of blood in baby’s stool last week, doctor is suspecting dairy allergy. I’ve been diligent cutting it out of my diet all week. I had a mango milk tea boba while nursing and didn’t remember her allergy until half way through the drink. Any advice? I feel awful! She is 6 weeks. submitted by /u/kwa124 [link] [comments]”
“I’m a 1 month post-partum first time mom. After a rough start with an excruciatingly painful week of engorgement and brush with mastitis, my breastfeeding journey has been close to ideal. My baby latches with ease, exclusively takes my breastmilk, goes between my nipple and the bottle without confusion. Baby is gaining weight and fit as a fiddle… but I don’t know it if I can keep doing this. I get home visits with an LC who is wonderful and supportive on all fronts. He eats every 1-2 hours, rare”
