DD2, 5mo is currently ebf.
Through illumination diets I have cut out dairy, egg, soya and wheat and she seems a little better. I have been free from all four allergens for > a month.
However stool sample analysis for DD shoes an inflammation, which GP says means she is still reacting to something and she needs to have a hypoallergenic formula (Neocate), this was also advised by consultant at the hospital before the still was sent for analysis but I ignored as thought ebf was best and DD is a bugger at taking a bottle when I've tried in the past.
Does the result have to be the end of breastfeeding? Could I each a diet completely free of all known allergens? What would this entail?
Or do I need to stop breastfeeding and move to formula?
I think I already know the answer, and need hand holding really. I'm not ready to stop breastfeeding. DD is not (emotionally) ready to stop breastfeeding.
Where do we go from here?
