Hi! I have quite the sensitivity to dairy especially to hard cheeses and milk. I break out, I get rashes and I get some tummy aches. My dd is 13 1/2 months old. When she was a baby she was very sensitive to any and all dairy in my breast milk. If I had a single piece of milk chocolate she would have tummy problems. I eliminated all dairy and she was fine. Once she was on solids it didn't matter what I had to eat, she was fine with everything, including dairy in my bm. I figured she grew out of it. She has been okay with tolerating cheese and milk and yoghurt in her diet.
BUT she has had 3 bouts of a fungal skin rash (never bad and always easily treated). First time was around 9 months, second at 11 and now at almost 14 months. I started to suspect a link with dairy when she had her 2nd infection since the 1st time coincided with introduction to dairy but I never thought twice about it and the 2nd time coincided with my giving her dairy 2-3x per day. This time that it has happened has coincided with my introducing her to cow's milk and giving her dairy 4x/day.
Anyone else experiencing this or have advice? I'd like to try her on goat's milk/cheese etc but am not sure how to begin.
I know that when she gets dairy once a day or every second day she doesn't get the infection. I haven't talked to her pedi yet but I was told to keep an eye out for any reactions to dairy since I have had so many reactions myself.
Thanks!
