I have been going through the archives and would like some suggestions. I 
have a mom of a two week baby. Baby was diagnosed with milk allergy from 
the pediatrician. Blood in stools and colic symptoms. Mom has been avoiding 
all dairy and baby is getting better. I did a search through up to date and 
according the the studies, avoidance diets in mothers are not effective in 
preventing development of allergy.  Any suggestions out there. My main 
concerns are that this mom not feel deprived and discouraged. She wants to 
continue to breastfeed but it has been difficult for her to feel she is eating 
well. We live in Michigan and fresh fruit and vegetables are readily available at 
this time and I have suggested that she enjoy these and just lean away from 
cow's milk and soy at this time until the baby is doing better. I know that 
some babies that are sensitive to CM proteins are also sensitive to soy.
