DS2 (8 months) was diagnosed with CMP several months ago by the paediatric gastroenterologist. By that stage, I'd already figured it out, and had almost completely cut out dairy from my diet (occasional butter on bought sarnies, etc). He said that the best thing to do was to b/f for at least 1 year (preferably 2) as it increased the chance that DS2 would grow out of his allergies.
Yesterday we saw the allergy specialist, where DS2 tested instant positive to CMP, eggs, nuts. Specialist also said to avoid soy until we're certain (could be delayed reaction). Allergy specialist said give up breastfeeding immediately and just use Neocate. Also suggested to avoid legumes until all symptoms have gone and i can do a food challenge
So my question is, do I keep breastfeeding (and not eat any soy/CMP/eggs/nuts/legumes myself - made more difficult because we're a pescatarian household (vegetarian plus fish) - or do I just call it quits and move on to neonate? And does that answer change if I'm pregnant?
TIA.
