Milk Diet



I'm on a diet! It's killing me! Garrett has been grunting and groaning for a few weeks now. I decided I can't take it (the grunting and groaning ALL night and day!) and he is miserable. His poor little tummy. Well I have cut ALL milk out of my diet to see if he has a milk aversion. That's right folks, even milk chocolate. I'm on day two and it is killing me! I love milk and all things dairy! I love Garrett more so I am willing to suffer (for a while) to see if this helps his little tummy. We have tried Mylicon drops and a few other things. Any other ideas are welcome! Post your suggestions ASAP I'm dieing for a glass of milk!

  1. Wow, love the bouncing udders!
    I wish I could help, but we had the same issues with Eli and the only thing that worked for him was switching to soy formula, which doesn't really work if you're breastfeeding. I know it's not the same, but what if you drink soy milk?

  2. Same thing happened here. I went to soy milk (a bit weird tasting, but hey, it's white and drenches the cold cereal in the mornings)and baby did well. I actually now drink rice milk (Rice Dream, at WalMart, not Smith's) and love it! I can't tell a taste difference from the real stuff at all!
    And I tried to stop eating my 2 best friends, cheese and chocolate, (which is all I craved when I was pregnant) and gradually I've added them back in here and there.

    Hang in there. I turned to licorice when I couldn't have the other stuff.

  3. I feel your pain darling! I've been there 3 times and am anticipating the 4th. Hang in there! Soy is a poor substitute but atleast you can cook with it. Watch out for milk derivatives too...the wheys, calcium carbonates, and sometimes even eggs of the world...they'll getcha. Tasteofhome.com has great recipes and you can do searches for stuff without milk or dairy.
    Best Wishes, my friend!
