    I have, though not to such a severe extent. My babies have all been sensitive to dairy foods. Even from tiny babies. I can't consume dairy (a little cows milk in coffee is ok) or they get terrible tummy pains and wind.
    TBH, I wouldn't be tempting fate. She probably reacted more severly to it in your milk because she was already having a reaction, but I wouldn't be eating too much egg in future if I was you. Maybe just in cakes, and cooking, but not straight, like omelettes or scrambled eggs.
    I'm glad your little miss is ok.

    I would be seeking a referral to an allergist or paed that specialises in allergies. So sorry you and your dd are going through this, must be very scary

    just from my limited experience, i would avoid egg for awhile - allow her system to recover from the exposure etc - and then test it again in your milk if it is something usually in your diet.

    I am currently more stricter on DS' diet, but less so on mine. I was really struggling with the restrictions on my diet, and this is kinda working for us now.
