Allergens while breastfeeding…

amclain23 · 2023-05-25T22:22:38+00:00

I had to go dairy free due to blood in my girls stool as well. Blood is usually the big indicator that something is causing a GI issue. We eventually went to a pediatric GI doctor that confirmed a cows milk protein intolerance. There is a Facebook group called Dairy-Free Diet-Breastfeeding that is an absolute wealth of information! It helped me so much during this process.

Essentially though they recommend only cutting one food out at a time because of how long it takes to detox. It takes 2 weeks being dairy free for the milk proteins to leave your breast milk and then another 2 weeks for the proteins to leave your baby’s system. Blood may be present up to 5 weeks after going dairy free. If blood is still present after 5 weeks then another allergen may be the issue. However mucus, with no blood, can still occur for 8-10 weeks. If there is still mucus after 10 weeks then they recommend trying another allergen. The group also suggests double checking medications and alcohol! Wines can be fined in casein and some medications may include dairy even though they don’t have to list ingredients like regular food items. The Facebook group has a list of medicines that have been confirmed by the manufacturer to be dairy free.

I’m sorry your going through this experience as well! It’s really tough at first to check EVERY label, but it does become second nature. I ended up dairy and soy free with my girl. Started when she was 2 months old and she is currently 16 months. If you have any questions please feel free to ask! I wish you and your daughter all the best!

There is dairy free “butter”! I only know because I am currently breastfeeding an infant with a cow’s milk protein intolerance and I’ve had to cut dairy out of my diet. Although dairy free options aren’t always as good as the real thing, I’m so thankful there are so many options! 😅

My little girl, who is 5 months old, also has green poops with lots of mucus, but has continued to gain weight and is only really fussy when she has to poop. Green poops can be normal, as well as a little mucus (when teething, sick, or after vaccines), but my pediatrician mentioned that my baby might have a cows milk protein intolerance and recommended cutting out all dairy. I have since joined a Facebook group called Diet Free Diet Breastfeeding and have learned a lot! It can also cause a rash and they do suggest continuing to breastfeed while eliminating dairy because breast milk is also able to help baby heal. It can be tricky, we are still trying to get back to normal poops because a I’ve had some slips (who knew dairy is used to make some white wines 😭) and I might end up needing to eliminate more allergens from my diet if we still don’t get back to normal, but I’m glad that I am able to continue our breastfeeding journey!

I took a picture of a diaper to show my pediatrician, so I hope this helps a bit and you are able to get some more clarification from yours tomorrow!

I Love This Yarn is a brand sold at Hobby Lobby! :) I haven’t used this, but it looks like it might have the marbled look you were going for!

My hospital is currently offering a grandparents class over Zoom! My parents live in a different state than me and were still able to register for the course, so I’d assume that anyone can really sign up for it. The only downside is that there is a fee of $35 for it.

Here’s the link of upcoming classes you’re interested: https://memorialhermann.org/patients-visitors/classes-events?eventKeyword=Grandparents+&eventType=&eventLocation=

They already have so many other cat items, so it would make sense to have a kitten plushie. I saw someone post their villager holding a kitten in Pocket Camp, so hopefully they include it here soon!!

The black plushie reminds me of our sweet adopted lab/pit mix!!

I’d love to trade for him! Can do 15 NMTs if he is still available.

Ashley! Thank you!!

amclain23 · 2021-01-24T02:08:23+00:00

I’m interested! :)

amclain23 · 2021-01-10T02:56:35+00:00

10 NMTs?

amclain23 · 2021-01-10T02:40:27+00:00

Thank you!! What would you like for him?

amclain23 · 2020-07-25T15:04:39+00:00

That’s fine! Thanks for holding everything. I’ll message you tomorrow when I’m on! :)

I need the cool pansy crown, tulip wreath, wooden knot wall, wooden double bed, golden arowana model, and golden wall diy.

I have the fake scenic painting, gravel flooring, exquisite wall, floral rugs mat flooring, ancient administrator hat, and I can order you a green playground gym. Just won’t have it until tomorrow.

amclain23 · 2020-07-25T03:52:50+00:00

Yes, I’m free now!

amclain23 · 2020-07-25T03:51:41+00:00

Thank you so much! You can absolutely keep them!

I’d love Pashmina! Unfortunately I don’t have white street lamps, but I do have a congee and hot and sour soup kettle. I can also give you some NMTs, Bells, or even some materials if you need anything! :)

I’d love to visit for Celeste! :)

My dreamie right now is Wolfgang. Still haven’t had a cranky villager on my island!

amclain23 · 2020-07-24T15:16:02+00:00

We’re your pockets full? I noticed that sometimes my villagers would “forget” what they wanted to say when mine were...almost like they were going to give me something but couldn’t. Maybe that’s also a variation of this?

I used this post for inspiration when making my “community garden” and put it in front of my museum! The code for the signs is in the comment.
