I Second That

I totally cut milk from my oldest when his night terrors were out of control. I noticed that one night after he had ice cream it was the worst! He was about 2 then. Now he is 3 1/2 and he ok with dairy and no more night terrors but we really don't consume much.

When my baby was born about 6 months ago he was miserable! He would cry non stop, the nights were the worst and he seemed to constantly be uncomfortable. This was so new to me, my other kids weren't like this. So I took him to the pediatrician and she said it was reflux. She, of course, gave me a medicine for him. I didn't notice much difference and I couldn't stand my one month old being on meds. I exclusively breastfeed and someone told me about eliminating all dairy, caseins and whey from my diet. So I did it and within a week, my baby was "cured." He started smiling and sleeping and seemed so much more relaxed. I figured that the whole family should pretty much go dairy free so we did. Now, five months later, I am easing my way back just so the baby has some exposure to dairy. He seems to be fine with it.

My husband and I are going to remain pretty much dairy free. The kids occasionally have cheese and they do eat a lot of yogurt. They don't drink cows milk, we don't even buy it. They love almond milk (you can get it flavored vanilla) and coconut milk. I miss food like pizza and grilled cheese but I don't think I will go back:)
