If you are breastfeeding a child with milk-soy protein intolerance, it is important that you screen all of your foods carefully.  Here is a detailed list of ingredients that must be avoided:

Milk

  • milk
  • modified milk ingredients
  • cheese
  • butter
  • ghee
  • beef
  • milk protein
  • whey
  • casein
  • caseinate
  • milk powder
  • lactalbumin
  • lactoglobulin
  • rennet
  • cream

Soy

  • soy
  • soyabean oil
  • soya lecithin
  • tofu
  • soy protein
  • vegetable oil*
  • vegetable glycerin*
  • hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HPV)
  • soy flour

*Undifferentiated vegetable oil, glycerin and protein almost always contain soy.

    I have had two children with MSPI and just had my third child three weeks ago. With my previous two children I was able to eat butter and cream because both are free of milk protein. With this baby however, I have had butter from the beginning but have been free from dairy otherwise. She wakes up from her naps early, and seems to have loose stool in every diaper, occasionally green. Do you have any thoughts? Thanks,

    Mindy, I would stop eating butter right away. You are wrong about butter and cream not containing any milk protein. That is simply not true. Both contain significant amounts of the proteins that can harm your child. I hope that this helps.

    I have a question about a very common ingredient I’m finding. Soy lecithin-is this something I need to avoid? I know it’s add for shelf life so it’s in almost everything.

    Hello,

    I just found out my daughter is allergic to dairy.

    However I wanted to know if I should avoid SOY as well until I have all her allergies checked by a doctor?
    Especially soy milk/soy yoghurt (with breakfast). I don’t want to replace one evil by another…

    Thanks for your suggestions

    Why does it say beef for milk? Is it for what the animal might be injected with?
