So, yes, there is a plus side. They say it takes 2 weeks, but I started seeing a change in about a week. It is hard but you get use to it. Shop at whole foods and buy vegan products. Get real chocolate without milk (note - cocoa butter is not a milk product). Keep in mind that butter, cheese, yogurt, sour cream, whey, lactose, etc are all dairy so steer clear. Vegan cheese is gross, IMO but Daiya is pretty good. The only one I will actually eat. So Delicious coconut milk ice cream is good too (if you like coconut). I don't love soy milk (though I do cook with it), I am loving Almond milk, really tasty. For butter I use Earth Balance. READ EVERY LABEL!!! You will be surprised what has dairy in it and good luck. Breastfeeding is so important and your baby is so worth it! Check out this link - it tells you how to read a label for a milk allergy.

My 6 week old cries all the time and I was told it's colic and she will grow out of it but I just can't accept that. And I can't just wait for her to grow out if it bc I'll lose my mind, so a friend suggested I cut dairy. It's been hard bc as you know milk is in everything! But if I get a happy baby, it's worth it. Any favorite products you suggest? How long did it take you to see a difference in your baby? I thought I was seeing improvments but then had a horrible day today so I'm not sure. It's only been 4 days since I stopped dairy though. On the up side, this new diet should get me back to pre-baby weight in no time! I’m going through the same thing.

I have 24 Nubunz as my go to diapers. I stuff with osocozy prefolds and use them all day most every day - my squishy delicious Raven Tree and Mutts are for the days when i pull out the gorgeous wool :D My only difference on the Raven Tree Dipes is that mine are all snapless so I use a snappi on them under wool :D And is that a Nana's bottoms Dipe on the little Diva??

By the time my daughter potty-learned, I had found the following to be what worked best for us: Blueberry, Fuzzibunz, and BumGenius pockets (outings, overnights stuffed with microfiber inserts), Muttaqin fitteds (large variety of great prints, trim fit, soft), Green Mountain prefolds (well-made, good size variety). I would have liked to have tried a few other diapers before she potty-learned. I liked having a variety, too.
