How did you know that it was the dairy causing the problem?

My DD had colic and was very unsettled as a newborn. I used to have cereal & milk for bfast every day. I had a few days when i was too rushed to have breaky, and noticed that she was less unsettled and so decided to try cutting out dairy to see if it helped.

How did you know that it was the dairy causing the problem?
Was it an immediate or delayed reaction?
I didn't know if it was defintely the dairy but it was worth cutting it out if it helped her. Her reaction wasn't immediate or specific which made it harder to say if it was definitily the dairy.

Did you get allergy testing or any other medical consultation to confirm? No

How did it impact your introduction to solids? A few months after cutting out dairy, i reintroduced it to my diet and found that DD did not have any reaction. Whether this is because her tummy had matured over this time- or whether dairy was never really the issue and it was just colic that fluctuated over different days, i'm still not sure. So by 6 months, i was able to have dairy in my diet. We did BLS, but i was probably a little slower in offering dairy. She did react to yogurt once or twice and so we stopped for awhile and then started again. SHe has never been a big fan of cows milk, and i haven't pushed it because maybe it is her body saying that she is ok with small amounts but big amounts don't feel good.

Did your child grow out of the allergy or become able to tolerate small amounts?
She eats cheese, good yogurt (Jalna) etc now without a prob. She has cows milk on her cereal and is ok with that too.
