I've been trying to eliminate dairy to see if it has an effect on LOs fussiness. I'd gone a week or so without dairy then had a cupcake and ice cream on Sunday. On Tuesday she was more fussy. On Wednesday I had a milkshake and on Friday thru Sunday she was super fussy, and seems more gassy. I just don't know if it's due to the dairy or if it's just normal fussiness. Would it take 2 days for it to really affect her or is it sooner after I eat it?

Dairy stays in your system for 1-2 weeks. So take that plus another 1-2 weeks in your LO's system you really need to eliminate for 3-4 weeks to see the full effects of it on our LO.
It sounds like it could be the dairy since the fussiness came after you had something that was so heavy on dairy like a milkshake and ice cream.

Yes, it can definitely take that long. Also, it can be cumulative. My son doesn't react now until he has had a few days of dairy in his system. It also stays in there so if you eat some hidden dairy it will reactivate.

I would take dairy out for a month before making any definitive decisions either way!
