Timeframe of symptoms

I moved onto lactose free milk 3 weeks ago. He was on percribed peti 1 too and we tried all sorts of milk nothing helped. The doctors and doetrition kept saying its milk protein allergy… so we went with our gut and ignored them. Best change since. All his symptoms went away. Breast milk has lactose and milk proteins in it so maybe he’s allergic to your milk now. You can cut out dairy completely in your diet. I think thats what you do if baby has allergy? May have to look that one up as i didn’t bf very long due to tongue tie

thank you! I’ve cut out dairy completely now but only for a few days (I originally just cut out straight dairy but ate things with dairy in) so I’m wondering if that’s why her symptoms have never fully gone..

My daughter has cmpa and I breastfed (did combi feed to start with but gave up as she never got on with the aptamil pepti 1 formula). It can take a few weeks for the symptoms to go away completely if you’ve only just cut them out from your diet but I started to see an improvement within a few days. The formula will leave her body quicker than the dairy will leave your breast milk and if you give kendamil then you will likely see symptoms within 48 hours (this is what our dietitian told me)

thank you. She’s been having a little bit of kendamil (total only 3oz since last night as she only has roughly 2 bottles a day!) weird her rash hasn’t come up from the kendamil but comes up after I BF (only sometimes) so wondering if it’s soya or another allergy she might have. I know for sure if the mucous comes back it’s the dairy too though so will just wait to see! I would stop the formula but she deffo needs it to top up in the morning / evening 😢

You could be right. Perhaps try keeping a food diary? My daughter also has an egg allergy. I discovered this at random really after I ate poached eggs and then she was sick a little while after, I realised it had happened a few times before but I hadn’t clocked. It’s really hard to work it out! How old is your daughter? If the formula works for you both then it’s absolutely fine! My daughter was sick after every feed with it, even with the thickener, so ebf was the best option for us

ah that’s a good idea. I’ve now cut dairy and soya completely so if in 3 weeks her rash still comes up I think I need to also start eliminating other stuff! I don’t eat egg but do eat things with egg in (mayo for example) so could definitely be that! She is 10 weeks now; has been on the Aptamil Pepti since around 3 weeks. The doctor told me to keep eating dairy etc if she could tolerate it as it’s good to keep some of it going through? It doesn’t seem to make her tummy bad but she’s definitely not tolerating something fully due to the rash and constant blocked nose.. so just decided to cut it all out now. He basically thinks she might have not tolerated the kendamil due to her digestive system just starting to work etc, so wants me to try her back on it now to see if it now can and isn’t an allergy! Which does make sense and know I need to give it a go. The aptamil pepti is soo watery, I think it was giving her a bit of reflux due to that!

now you’ve cut everything out is she much happier? My little one has just started to pass wind and poo easier but now worried it’s all going to flare up again.. at least I know if it does dairy is one of the things she’s allergic to! Just hate to think of it hurting her, in the last 10 weeks it feels like she always has had soo many tummy aches

My daughter is 21 months now and we’re working our way through all the allergy ladders. We’ve completed soya and we’re up to egg and milk baked into things (like cake etc). I was able to breastfeed to 16 months and after we got on top of the allergies, she was like a different baby although never been a good sleeper! You can ask the doctor to prescribe a thickener for the aptamil pepti. My daughter’s rash looked like sunburn on her face and then she had eczema on her body and it all totally cleared up. I’m convinced she had silent reflux as well as she never wanted to be laid down so she slept on one of us for the first 3 months which was fun 😳
