You havn't answered my question regarding whether or not my diet as a breast feeding mother has any effect on my baby, in general are there any foods that should be avoided?? i have given her oral piriton 2.5ml twice and it has cleared it up, but don't know why or what is a trigger. Please can you help as your answer wasn't very explanatory.previous QuestionHI my baby doesn't have dematisis, she has what the doctor prescribed as Urticaria.

My son was put on Neocate by a GI doctor after having bloody stools and trying other formulas. He is putting on weight however he often cries during feedings. He will drink 3 or 4 ounces and then cries and refuses the bottle. Eventually he often will take the rest - up to6 ounces. He is 3 months old and weighed 13 pounds two weeks ago. He sleeps well and is not fussy between feedings. Could he still be in pain during the feeding? He also has difficulty having a bowel movement and needs prune juice and water every other day. He is very hard to feed. Thanks
My daughter is ten weeks old and has a milk allergy. My other daughter who is four also has a milk allergy but has just had a test done and it came back with a wheat allergy. Do you think my other daughter could go the same way since she already has the milk allergy
