My nine week old is very mucousy, wheezy and has a blotchy rash that won't clear. The alternative health shop/homeopath told me to cut out dairy as the proteins pass into breast milk. However, at my postnatal check today, the gp said they absolutely CAN'T pass into breastmilk as all protein is processed in the gut and doesn't enter the bloodstream. She says his problems are atopic, therefore genetic and won't be affected by diet as he is purely breastfed. There is so much conflicting advice about this. I think I might try it for a few weeks to see if there is an improvement, but I find it a bit daunting as it's so restrictive. Has anyone found that this has worked?
