Milk and Soy Allergy!

This is something i really didn't expect. When you think u are giving your child the best by breastfeeding then this pops up. So Bryn was starting to become really fussy and acting like she was in pain while she ate. I had her 1 month check up and described it to the dr. He suggest that it was just acid reflux so he put her on zantac. He also gave me some warning signs to look out for. So i started her on zantac and really didn't see a change but started to notice her poop was changing into a very snotty consistency also she was getting a rash on her face that was spreading to her ear and chest. I called the drs office Monday night and they told me to drop off a diaper Tuesday. I did when Robert got home and the dr tested the diaper and it was positive for milk and soy allergy. I was so upset! All the hard work and tears i went through and my milk was not the right thing for her. The dr told me I had to put her on formula for a week. He also told me that he would like if i went on a soy and diary free diet. He told that it wouldn't be easy and it would take a lot on dedication. But once I saw the price of the formula I told myself that it was worth it for my little girl. I just want what is best for her and i know in my heart that this is it. My loving husband told me that he would do it too. He is the best support I have and i couldn't do with out him. My journey begins Wish Me Luck because our family will need it!

Oh no Lisa! Glad to hear that they were able to find out what it was. How nice to have such a supportive hubby though! I know what you mean by the formula being so expensive. I was shocked when I stopped breastfeeding Aiden around 9 months and switched to formula. It's just crazy. Good Luck - your such a good mommy : )

Thanks Stace! Going to a support group I need all the help I can get. This diet is hard. The formula she would have to be on is 35 bucks a can! Crazy!
