Oops, hit the send button before I had finished writing :-p
Another thought on this very allergic baby is to have the mother try what
Dr Doris Rapp calls "breastmilk vaccines"--the mom expresses some milk,
then makes 3 dilutions in small cups using distilled or spring water: 1:5,
1:25 and 1:125. She tries a few drops (3 to begin[.01 cc], which can be
doubled if needed) of each sublingually after feeding, and will usually
find one dilution works best. I have had mothers *swear* this saved
breastfeeding (and their own diets) from extinction. Even if it doesn't
work, I can't see any harm that could be done by trying it.....
To make the dilutions:
1:5--5 ml undiluted breastmilk plus 20 ml distilled/spring water
1:25--usually the most effective--5 ml of the 1:5 dilution plus 20 ml
distilled/spring water
1:125--5 ml 1:25 dilution plus 20 ml distilled/spring water
