Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know if allergies in the mother can get worse when bfing?

I have very bad dust mite and mold allergies and atm they are so severe that my quality of life is very compromised. Over the last few months I've developed eczema, asthma, itchy ears and eyes, joint pain and insomnia, not to mention yeast infections. I've had these allergies before having children but after each child they've become worse.

I am going to a doctor on Sunday and I know that he is going to put me on a very strict dairy and grain free diet (yipee), plus 18 months worth of vaccines to help eliminate the issues. I can't take any antihistamines which makes my attacks very full on and it takes me hours to recover.

I'd like to hear from anyone who has dealt with allergies whilst bfing. I by now means want to give up because I have a feeling my DD will have some allergies too
