Milk or egg allergy

My LO is allergic to milk and egg. We had the appointment with the paeds allergy and were told not to have anything with it and will retest in a year. Anyone else with one of these allergies had the same advice or can you start the ladders or retest earlier?

My little one was tested and had a low grade egg allergy and they have told us to slowly reintroduce egg in 3 months time. But maybe that’s because ours is low grade. I feel like they don’t give us any info on these things 🫣

they didn't say which grade it was. Was it low grade because on the test the raised spot wasn't as big as the control?

Mine has CMPA but had a skin prick test and came back negative for IgE so we were cleared to start the dairy ladder. It’s been a long road with me first having to start it to see if she could tolerate it through my breast milk. I’ve been ‘climbing the ladder’ myself and with a couple wobbles/reactions I’m now having pretty much all dairy (but in moderation as she’ll still react if I had like a whole latte with regular milk for example). We’ve just started the ladder with her and she’s already reacted to step 1, so we’re going to have to keep trying and see if she’ll tolerate it eventually so we can move up.

they did the lgE blood test for our little one and the grade was around 0.62 which is the lower grade x

My daughter is 21 months old, last tested her milk/egg allergy back in August 24. Due to the numbers of the bloods and skin prick we were advised to wait a year before trying again.
We’ve recently had another baby so wanted to check these allergens again for ease of weaning our 2nd, so went private to check (6 months since the last ones) and they show the same levels in the blood tests.
The private Dr suggested trying the egg ladder at home, our NHS DR was shocked and told us not too given the results as a reaction was inevitable.
We have EpiPens so we’ve decided to not try and wait for the next lot of tests in August x

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
