I would be too scared to eat it.<br /> I gave E 2oz of formula with milk in it.<br /> He reacted well.<br /> So, for dinner, I gave him another 2oz and the next day.<br /> After that, I was convince he was OK so I started having dairy again. We've been good ever since!</p> <p>I wanted to keep my breast milk untainted invade he has a bad reaction, I'd still have good milk in me. Plus, one cup of milk may not be enough to test, yet anything more, might take too long to get out of your system. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-reintroducing-dairy#post-947149 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:40:10 +0000 runsyellowlites 947149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told to try baked cheese first so I went &amp; ate some Mexican food... because I greatly missed it! lol I ate dairy 2 days in a row &amp; if we didn't see a reaction I cleared us as okay.... P was always okay the first day, it wasn't usually until late into the 2nd day that she'd start reacting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-reintroducing-dairy#post-947137 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:36:04 +0000 immabeetoo 947137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: allegedly that is when the "open gut" closes and their digestive systems are more mature and can handle it. my LO was fine with it after 6 months.</p> <p>We never had a strong sensitivity but I started with it as an ingredient (bread with butter in it) and then slowly went for other products. Not sure how to help with the pumping situation, sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-reintroducing-dairy#post-946929 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 17:15:09 +0000 brownie 946929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would personally introduced dairy directly to him. Because then your milk is clean (it can take a while to clear out of you). I would start with processed dairy (cheese, yogurt or something with milk cooked in it). These are easier to digest. Start off with just one snack or meal and wait at LEAST 24 hours. Then try two servings. I always found that the first day was fine but once we got a bunch of dairy in him, he would react like crazy. So don't go over board too fast. Even if he can tolerate one serving that means you can vary your meals. </p> <p>This is what we did when we introduced dairy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-reintroducing-dairy#post-946867 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 16:47:57 +0000 travellingbee 946867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like to know too, since I'm also off dairy for LO. Why 6 months for reintro? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-reintroducing-dairy#post-946854 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 16:41:28 +0000 pl0508 946854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bump???? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-reintroducing-dairy#post-945861 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 11:35:31 +0000 mamimami 945861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started with things that had dairy ingredients and did that for a week or two before actually, like, drinking milk or whatever. That was what our doc recommended.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-reintroducing-dairy#post-945846 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 11:30:24 +0000 pl0508 945846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So - our ped said I can try to reintroduce dairy when LO is 6 mo old which will be this Sunday. </p> <p>How did you reintroduce? What did you start with? </p> <p>I was thinking about just having a glass of milk one day and see how that affects him? </p> <p>Any tips would be appreciated!</p> <p>OH - and now that I am EP he rarely gets "fresh" milk from me. I usually pump and put in the fridge and he usuallyd rinks the milk from the previous day first. So - for example - he's drinking milk from the 17th today, not the milk that I pumped on the 18th. At the end of the day I freeze whatever is left because my milk only stays good in the fridge for 2 days. Does that make sense? </p> <p>So - I'm wondering how to do this. If I have some dairy on Saturday he probably wouldn't drink that milk until Sunday so I probably wouldn't see how he reacted until Monday? Is there a better way or should I just label the bottles after I have dairy and see how he reacts after having them? </p> <p>confusing... </p>
