You’re told your baby may have a protein intolerance or allergy. You need to change your diet to continue breast or body feeding. You feel like you’ll do whatever you have to do for the health of your baby. 

Then you’re told it may take up to two weeks for food proteins to clear out of your system. And then two more weeks to clear out of your baby’s system.

Something is wrong with your baby and you’re concerned. And now you have to wait a month for hopes of improvement.  Even worse, some groups state that it can take up to 8 weeks!?

The timing doesn’t seem to add up and many professionals don’t seem confident in their answers either.

So...here you are reading every label and hoping that your breast milk isn’t harming your baby.

Here at Free to Feed our mission is to provide scientific evidence and help parents reach their feeding goals through food reactivity.

Here are some facts backed by science on how long food proteins remain in human milk. Find the blog and referenced publications here: https://www.freetofeed.com/post/truth

What Is the Truth About How Long Proteins Last in Your Breastmilk?

You’ve changed your entire diet to remove the number one infant food allergen — dairy. You’re hoping it’ll improve your precious little one’s symptoms. Maybe you’ve seen some improvement, but not enough. Or maybe you haven’t had any. 

What’s the second most commonly recommended food to remove from your diet while you’re breastfeeding your baby with food allergies or intolerances? Soy (also known as soya).

If you thought removing dairy from your diet was difficult, you’ll soon realize soy is in everything! It can be so overwhelming and challenging figuring out what you can eat. And what soy-free foods will actually keep you nourished while you continue to breastfeed?

Free to Feed helps guide parents like you to navigate your path of infant food reactivity. We know it’s a confusing and stressful time — and we’re here to help. We’re giving you the most important information about soy to help you successfully cut it from your diet. It’s all about helping that sweet baby of yours too!

🩺 Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a non–IgE mediated #FoodAllergy that manifests with projectile #vomiting, diarrhea, mucus/ #BloodInStool and may be accompanied by lethargy, dehydration, shock, #Malabsorption, #FailureToThrive, and other secondary symptoms.⁣

🤱🏿Through breastmilk, FPIES reactivity to protein fragments from the maternal diet can elicit similar, albeit often less severe, symptoms. ⁣

🦠This can be mistaken for #reflux, stomach bugs, lactose intolerance, infection, and much more.⁣

🤓 "FPIES is NOT rare, with the cumulative incidence of FPIES in infants estimated to be 0.015% to 0.7%, whereas the population prevalence in the US infants was 0.51%."

😭 Diagnosis is based on the recognition of symptoms because there are no biomarkers of FPIES and #AllergyTests will typically show negative for triggers.⁣

🧀 Management relies on avoidance of food triggers, treatment of accidental exposures, and periodic re-evaluations with #OralFoodChallenges to monitor for resolution.⁣

🌽 Any food can be an FPIES trigger which can make navigation harder. ⁣

🙅🏻‍♀️ Not having a specific symptom (like not experiencing failure to thrive or never getting to a full shock response) does NOT rule out FPIES.⁣

Understanding FPIES - A Guide For Parents

You’re doing everything you can to help your baby with food allergies. You’ve cut the top two infant food allergies: dairy and soy. Cutting those two out of your diet is tough work, but producing safe breastmilk is worth it. Sadly, some babies continue to show symptoms and signs of discomfort.

What’s next? For a lot of parents, it’s egg. 

For others, it’s grains or wheat – but that's for another day…

After cutting dairy and soy, the last thing you want to do is cut egg. Eggs are packed with protein and help you stay full. We know staying full isn’t an easy task when you're breastfeeding either! 

And what about breakfast?

Free to Feed is here to provide your family with the information you need to successfully continue breastfeeding your baby with food allergies. Today, we’ll be looking at all the things related to egg allergies in babies.
