Jo- as I am researching for sleep book - in one sleep study in UK - 12 % of
bubs for whom no other reason for sleeplessnes was discovred, were found to
be sensitive to dairy- dairy removed for 5 weeks and then challenged - all
but one bub reacted again with sleeplessness. Bubs challenged again 12
months later and 10 / 15 still reacted. Allergic symptoms are not
necessarily gut related - there is also a diff between food allergy and
intolerance. Would be very suss if your breastfed bub has excema that he is
sensitive to something dietary. You would need to eliminate ALL dairy -
including milk in bought biscuits/ yoghurt etc etc for at least ten days -
but it could be worth a try.

Jo another thought - have you seen Sue Dengates work? She is an absolute
wealth of knowledge on food additives -and not just artificial stuff,
although I heard her speak a couple of weeks ago and she mentioned a baby
who cried 18 hrs a day -mum and bub both admitted to hospital (any
wonder?) - turned out to be areaction to preservatives in bread. There
can be naturally occuring chemicals in otherwise healthy foods too.
Check out Sues website

Ooh, thanks, Pinky. I'll check it out. The allergy thing has crossed my
mind, as Will has the beginnings of eczema all over. If he was crying a
lot, I'd be more worried about it, but he's fairly easily settled. I had
thought of cutting out dairy for a while, but his digestive system doesn't
seem to be causing him any problems ... so didn't think it was worth it.
I'll definitely look at Sue's site though,
Thanks!
Jo
