Hello all,
A mom contacted me today with a 13 mo with severe food allergies, BUT is
thankfully still BF 3-4 times during the day and then sleeps in the
family bed and BF during the night several times.  There is an older
brother with lots of allergies too, so mom cut a lot of things out of her
diet during the pregnancy with the now 13 mo.

Child has been found to be allergic--level 4 to
dairy
eggs
soy
nuts, at this point only tree nuts are shown, but peanuts are being cut
as a precaution

Child only gained 1# between 9 month and 12 month check up, came back at
13 mo and had LOST 6 oz.  He is "eager to eat", as per mom.  Eats beans
(kidney beans, black beans), fruit, avocado, veg, olive oil added to lots
of things for calories, turkey, bison (buffalo).  Brother allergic to
corn, so reluctant to try anything with corn syrup.  What can she add to
his diet to add calories?

Are there are refs she can use to continue BF? (she has no doubt herself,
but wants to be armed if specialists want her to wean, very savvy mom)

What else do you need to know.  Can you give me more info to help this
mom and child?

Warmly,
Pat Bucknell IBCLC
