My first son had multiple food allergies, so I was really nervous with my second. I stayed off many of my first son's allergens throughout the pregnancy and found that if I drank a smidgen of milk while breastfeeding, my second son would breakout in eczema across the forehead...I stopped all dairy. At around a year, I started to add yogurt and cheese into my diet...he did not react. I then tried him on a milk based formula where the milk protein is partially broken down...can't remember the name off hand. He was fine. My second son does not have a milk allergy but ended up with a peanut/tree nut allergy...specifically to macadamia nuts but we keep him away from all nuts. We go to the allergist on Monday...I can't help but hope for some good news! :)Susan H @ The Food Allergy Chronicleshttp://thefoodallergychronicles.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8093408120560690470.post-61377372753905289952012-01-17T20:50:15.744-05:002012-01-17T20:50:15.744-05:00thank you everyone.. its definitely getting easier...thank you everyone.. its definitely getting easier.. i just wish i had more time to write a blog entry. I have so much to write about it's driving me crazy. But it has been getting easier so hopefully i'll find some time soon. I'm super thankful that Aiden loves to read because we have been doing plenty of reading and we also set up a "nursing bag of goodies" which has been helpful on the days where he does not want to read. My new challenge is dealing with terrible two's! I can't believe how such a wonderful and loving little boy can be so mean sometimes (and that's putting it lightly). Will write soon and thank you all for stopping by and your thoughtful words.Magdalenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467289873105377479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8093408120560690470.post-90180136386819369372012-01-16T18:58:48.979-05:002012-01-16T18:58:48.979-05:00How sweet!

I'm late, but congratulations are still in order :) <br /><br />A quick note: It's actually a lot easier when you have two with food allergies because you know exactly what to look for and can make executive decisions without having to go through all sorts of doctors and such. I hope and pray that sweet Dylan doesn't have any food allergies. <br /><br />We did lots and lots of stories during nursing time with my second little one. We'd all snuggle up on the couch and Maya would hold the book or turn the pages. She was 14 months old when Jesse was born :) Baby wearing also helps TONS. I wish I had known about it before my third. My homemade no sew Moby wrap was my friend. <br /><br />Good luck Mama!

There are lots of cues to look for to recognize a food allergy early. http://dairyfreediner.wordpress.com/our-journey/ I unfortunately found that out the hard way the first time too. What a precious photo you posted. I hope things continue to get easier and easier.

It's probably a combination of a new baby in the house and him turning two. I never liked turning on the TV for Aiden but it has been my best friend this past month.. I can't see it any other way. It's the only time we all can just sit and relax.Magdalenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467289873105377479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8093408120560690470.post-48137305270107432422011-12-30T15:52:02.453-05:002011-12-30T15:52:02.453-05:00Congrats on your recent birth and on your beautifu...Congrats on your recent birth and on your beautiful family! My older son was extremely jealous of the baby, especially at nursing time. It helped to give him an activity to do during this time. Ultimately I was able to hands free nurse and could read a book to my oldest while I nursed. Another option, though I'm not big on tv time, was just that. TV was the ultimate in distractions. Good luck! It will get easier!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
