That's right... no more milk, butter, yogurt, cheese, or ice cream. Eliana has a milk protein allergy, so I have to cut all dairy out of my diet (and hers). It's really more annoying than anything--constantly reading labels, spending twice as much time grocery shopping, hunting down soy alternatives, watching Matt enjoy a bowl of chocolate ice cream that clearly was meant for me. Our pediatrician says most babies will grow out of this allergy; that it is more like a sensitivity because of an immature digestive system. So no dairy until she's 6 months old, and when we re-introduce dairy to her diet at that point she should be able to tolerate it. One month down... five to go. But who's counting?
And because I can't post without a picture... here's Eliana at one month old!
Eliana at One Month:
Starting to smile at Mommy and Daddy
Neck muscles are getting stronger as she tries to hold up her head on her own
Loves to snuggle and to be held
Weighs 7 lbs 14 oz, 21.5 in. long
