It's interesting to hear that I'...Hi Carly!<br /><br />It's interesting to hear that I'm not the only one who wishes they went into more detail at 'breastfeeding school'. I don't know whether it is just because they don't want people to be put off, but it doesn't help when you hit a problem and have no idea how to deal with it, does it?<br /><br />I'm also interested to hear that you became lactose intolerant so quickly! I had heard that it took a couple of years to lose the lactose enzyme. There are products which can apparently assist with lactose intolerance, I wonder if these might help?? I would be interested to know if you've discussed it with your dietitian. <br /><br />Will defo keep in touch with how it goes - we may be able to help each other! Thanks for being in touch!<br /><br />xxdairyfreebabyandmehttp://www.dairyfreebabyandme.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7820634105388649430.post-44705218600136906162015-05-06T22:06:33.114+01:002015-05-06T22:06:33.114+01:00Thank you!

And for not letting it put you off doing it a second time!<br /><br />Hope you find the answers you need for your other little one!<br /><br />Big hugs!!<br /><br />xxdairyfreebabyandmehttp://www.dairyfreebabyandme.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7820634105388649430.post-4581348792206462482015-05-06T21:12:35.474+01:002015-05-06T21:12:35.474+01:00Fascinating post! I know what you mean about '...Fascinating post! I know what you mean about 'breastfeeding school' not telling you everything- I had it in my head that at 6 months weaning time that was it- had no idea babies continued to need milk feeds for many months after first introducing solids! Much less did I have any idea how to stop when the time came at 8 months when our own dairy free baby decided she was far more interested in the world around her than me. Weeks of painful engorgement later...<br /><br />After 8 months dairy free I have found I am somewhat lactose intolerant now. It has got better, but I would recommend against leaping on a pile of cheese at the first opportunity and to reintroduce gradually - it made me very ill! Now I find cheese & yogurt etc fine but still can't drink milk. To be honest as we cook family meals the same for everyone we don't have as much dairy in our diet now to make sure baby A can eat it. Let us know how you get on!Carly Bhttp://www.glutenfreeb.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7820634105388649430.post-8901110502770309322015-05-06T19:57:16.250+01:002015-05-06T19:57:16.250+01:00Congratulations to you both! What a wonderful jou...Congratulations to you both! What a wonderful journey you have been on together.<br /><br />My df little girl chose to wean on her 4th birthday last week. We didn't think it would actually happen as she loves mummy milk so much and as little brother is feeding too there is plenty of milk, but it all seems to be going surprisingly well. I am a little bit sad as it has been more of an abrupt ending than I was expecting and I'm getting far fewer cuddles than this time last week! <br /><br />No milk ladder for me as bubba also has a milk allergy along with soya and several other allergies including some we are still finding out about. However I might be able to eat tapioca now which will allow me to eat a few more of the dairy free / gluten free products.<br /><br />Good luck on this next step of your dairy free journey together - you've done an amazing job nurturing your 'baby' for all this time and letting her decide when she was ready xfumblinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00333720908910821811noreply@blogger.com
