Has anyone tried homepathy with this baby?  Surely this is worth a try
before sacraficing breastfeeding.  One caution, if cow milk is really the
issue, then any homeopathic remedy given should be in a vegetable glycerine
base (or an alcohol base burned off in hot water), not the powdery white
lactose base (derived from cow milk).  I would strongly urge that the mom
find a qualified homeopathic practitioner instead of tinkering herself.  If
she can't find one, she can try going to my site
http://www.birthpartners.com/listing.asp?C=1&Pro=LACCON&ID=502 and finding a
local link for one near her.  If she really wants to try something herself,
there are compound homeopathic formulations available for dairy allergy as
well as other types from NSP.  In order to not sound like an ad, if you need
more info, please feel free to contact me privately.  To give you an idea of
the type of remedies, it is common to treat anal bleeding with Natrum
Muriaticum and homeopathic sulfur and Veratrum album for bleeding rectal
fissures.
