I am proud of my accomplishment of keeping my daughter healthy and alive for her first year with my mama milk.
So we did milk bath photos to celebrate.

She has severe allergies to diary and soy, and going diary and soy free for one year has to of been the hardest year for self control! But I did it, and I am damn proud of myself for doing so.
I year down, 1 to go!

Diary protein allergy and lactose is different.. she can't digest any protein found in diary.. so lactose free doesn't work.. I tried that first.. big mistake.

We discovered soy protein when she exorcist vomited for hours and ran a fever..

Also she's allergic to watermelon! Never heard of that before until last week when we thought she needed an emergency room visit.

Also next time you have a slice of pizza, don't take that for granted, there are people like me, who cannot indulge and die a little inside whenever I see a domino's delivery car.

You may not even realize how much diary and soy is in everything that is tasty and delicious.

Great job Mom! Not easy to keep up with the little ones. Baby is beautiful and looks healthy! Fret not, you will have pizza again!

It's hard breastfeeding in general then to add more obstacles is next to impossible. Good job sticking it out!

It's insane how much dairy is everywhere! Our son went through the same and I sympathize. Congratulations and keep up the good work!!

Also, Blue Diamond Almond Milk rocks and only tastes like dirt a little bit when you put it in your coffee.

It's really soft and gentle on their skin for one thing.

It is absolutely amazing for the skin and hair. It is healing also for the baby. When I do use real breastmilk, she's so soft and her

Healthy looking baby there @op, but I have to ask, is that all breast milk? You knew this question was coming.

Haha! Almond milk. I cheated, took the easy route. breastmilk Is to valuable to dump down the drain.

Fair enough. Sorry for the personal question, but it had to be asked. May your years together be filled with smiles and good times.

For the love of god, it's DAIRY. You can't even blame it on a typo when you spell it wrong 15 times.

Thank you! It was so tough, like demonic risen baby tough. But we got through it once we figured it out through elimination.

I'm breastfeeding at the moment and I've had so many friends who haven't been able to for so many reasons. You're a star!
