Did you do it and how bad was it? I am an exclusive pumper but also have to supplement with formula. Baby probably gets 70/30 breast milk and formula. My baby has eczema and reflux and is falling behind her growth curve in height and weight. We are on Zantac three times a day since last week. They also had us switch formulas to the Alimentum. Her irritability after meals is a lot better. Spit up has been back to the normal amount. She is a little worse the past few days but I think she’s not feeling well after she got her shots. So doctor thinks it may be a milk/soy allergy causing the eczema and reflux and decrease in weight gain. Doctor wants me to give up milk and soy and beef. I looked into it and I don’t know if I can do it. Reading labels I found out that almost everything I eat has some form of milk or soy. I feel like I will be miserable on that diet. I am thinking of giving up on giving her breast milk if that’s the case but not without guilt because she’s only 2 months old. I wanted to go until she was 6 months. I’d like to hear your experiences with giving up milk and soy in your diet.
Right now I switched her to just the Alimentum and am banking my breastmilk even though I haven’t started the diet changes. They aren’t for sure if she’s allergic to both and I want to confirm she gets better on that before I start the way restrictive diet.
