My poor baby!

E. can't have dairy.

Seems fine - newborns don't eat cheese, milk, butter, sour cream, etc.

But mommy does!

We went 1 week dairy-free and E. was just fine. Then we started thinking "maybe she's not really dairy-intolerant, let's try it." So I had milk on my cereal (instead of soy) one day, and home-made ranch dressing another day, and potato salad with milk in it the next day... and yesterday E. was so miserable! Every time she pooped she'd double over in agony and whimper! And there is nothing more disgusting than breastfed-baby-with-colitis-poop. BLECH!

So I cut the dairy yesterday and drank a LOT of water to flush it out and today she seems so much happier! In fact, she's even sleeping in her bassinet for the first time in a couple of days! (I've had to hold her while she's sleeping so that she'll relax).

Bad mommy - no more dairy!
