He has his fussy times and I don't like them but they aren't anywhere near as upsetting as things were with Pk. I wonder if it a boy thing?<br />I hope the dairy thing goes - cheese is probably my fav food in the world, followed by ice cream :-).pippasmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07386184818117314750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-637299678197896762.post-79290771854943943952010-08-09T11:30:40.614-07:002010-08-09T11:30:40.614-07:00I'm so glad my son doesn't seem to be too ...I'm so glad my son doesn't seem to be too affected by milk. I'm a dairy farmer, so as you can imagine, that would be tough. I LOVE cheese! It is a staple in our house! My daughter had the grouchies for the first 3 months (colic, I believe) and calmed considerably afterwards. My son is cranky in the evenings but not NEAR as bad as my daughter was, and honestly, I can handle him crying better than my daughter. And he sleeps through the night... no dietary modifications necessary. It'd be nice if all children could be that way!<br /><br />I hope this works out well for you guys. You may be able to add a little dairy back in at a time after a few months... hopefully.<br /><br />Good luck!Sabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366504500666420418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-637299678197896762.post-69416087559676912292010-08-07T15:38:16.573-07:002010-08-07T15:38:16.573-07:00I just can't do soy. 1.

I have concerns about its safety (I have read some interesting stuff about the phyto-estogenic qualities that make me nervous, especially for a boy) but, to be honest, it has more to do with my childhood than anything else. In those days, you couldn't get the nice soy milks of today, the only option was soy formula (isomil) which may not smell as ghastly now but way back then, it was disgusting! My brother, who is lactose intolerant, drank that for years and the smell bothered me so much that I couldn't even eat things that had it baked into them. Just the idea of soy turns my stomach. Almond milk is nice, rice milk works really well in baking and I have heard that hemp milk is great but I haven't tried it. I couldn't do soy cheese and the rice cheese they make (we bought it for Pk when we were seeing the nutcase naturopath) is like plastic. Yuck!pippasmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07386184818117314750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-637299678197896762.post-67611242297494050882010-08-07T12:07:33.514-07:002010-08-07T12:07:33.514-07:00Ooh, that's tough. I will say that Natura soy ...Ooh, that's tough. I will say that Natura soy milk is not bad, and they now have a really quite nice ice cream substitute that is dairy- and gluten-free, so hopefully that could hold you a little? <br /><br />We actually weaned The Bun onto soy milk at first, because he seemed to be reacting oddly to milk, so for a few months, until we had him tested for allergies, we kept him on soy. Once we had him tested with no result, we tried again. It seems like his digestion was just a touch behind, and it was fine by then.kittenpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215443551546036909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-637299678197896762.post-66067224335791590002010-08-06T19:52:28.203-07:002010-08-06T19:52:28.203-07:00I had to cut dairy out for my son too...isn't ...I had to cut dairy out for my son too...isn't it crazy how many foods include dairy ingredients?!?Muthering Heightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06660310558298459636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-637299678197896762.post-20283292873553350362010-08-06T19:50:44.384-07:002010-08-06T19:50:44.384-07:00I feel your pain...I was dairy free while nursing ...I feel your pain...I was dairy free while nursing Sydney because of her milk-protein allergy. I stopped nursing her at 11 months because Christmas was on the way! :) I wanted cookies in a bad way and my goal was to make it to a year...so close. <br /><br />But it was the best diet I've ever been on (because you can't eat anything). <br /><br />I went dairy free again a couple months ago as an experiment (didn't work so I'm eating dairy again). <br /><br />The things we do for our children (and a little sleep!!!)Jill Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919221814694982320noreply@blogger.com
