Hello.

After a bit of an ordeal I have figured out that my 4.5 month old baby has an allergy to cows milk and to soya to a lesser extent (he is being supplemented with a hypoallergenic formula) but over the last couple of days every time he has my breast milk he cries solidly for 20 minutes afterward. He doesn't do this with the formula. I have cut out all dairy from my diet. The only new thing I have eaten was a bulgur wheat salad.

Do you think it is possible he had a reaction to that specific form of wheat? I eat pasta and bread all the time.

Thanks for your help.

any skin type reaction or anything other than crying? because crying could be caused by teething, a oncoming cold etc? or that its harder, sucking wise to get breastmilk than by bottle? ....

and it could be caused by anything you are eating, dont take anything else out of yr diet without careful consideration. by breastfeeding you are protecting him against infection, even if he is getting tummy ache just yet.

how is he generally , health wise? do you see a pead immunologist?
