Not sure whether I should post this here or in allergies really.

Breastfed DD (8.5months) is milk intolerant, but I think I inadvertently had some dairy this afternoon (hot chocolate powder in Starbucks - had with soy milk and without the buttery caramel topping, but forgot that choc powder would prob contain milk too). Shortly after a bf this evening she projectile vomited probably her entire stomach contents - never seen her so ill .

Don't know what to do about feeding her now. Anyone know how long the dairy will stay in my milk for? I thought it took 7-10 days to clear completely from your system, but I can't not feed her for that long. I have some Nutramigen which we use for cooking, but she won't drink more than a couple of sips (of anything) from a cup, so I don't really have the option of giving this and pumping and dumping my milk.

Anyone got any bright ideas?

Worried that she'll wake in the night for a feed now as there's nothing in her, but worried that if I bf then she might be sick and choke in her sleep.

Keep B/F and let her eat what she wants. If she is sick again just keep her on BM. Shame about DH, sounds like a bug after all.

Oh poor you CSWS. Hope everything improves soon.

For future hot chocolate fixes I highly recommend Trade Aid Fair Trade Dark Hot chocolate - I presume it's available from Oxfam in the UK.

For your peace of mind I would ask Starbucks for the ingredients of the chocolate - you might be pleasantly surprised.

It does however sound like she has a bug - so your breastmilk will be the best thing for her.
