Breastfed 4 month old reacts to dairy products in my diet.

At around 3 months my boy came down with severe cradle cap, on his face too and eczema over most of his body. It was suggested that I try eliminating dairy products from my diet, I did and both conditions improved dramatically.
His bms also changed back to the yellow mustardy type again when they had become more of a darkish green for several weeks. Is this further proof of allergic reaction?
I've been unable to find info on cradle cap being related to a nursing mother's diet and wonder if this is a concidence.

Does anyone have any similar experience?
When were you able to add dairy back into your diet, if ever or could you get away with eating small amounts here & there with no significant effect?

I miss yogurt & cheese and am a lacto-ovo vegetarian so the dairy is a significant source of protein, calcium & b-12 for me, though I know other ways to get these in my diet.

Thanks for anything you can share!

Hey there.... I forgot to mention to you that you might want to start by introducing yourself in the introductions thread....this site tends to get a lot of trolls, posing as attachment parenting friendly moms (and dads).

Can you find a doctor that is willing to spend the time with you and discuss these issues with the baby?

Ask the ladies at WIC, they may know a bit about it too.

Good luck and dont forget to introduce yourself properly on here young lady! Lol.... some of us are proper here. Not me. Not by far.
