This may explain some of the things I've experienced.  I have a 5 month
old breastfed baby who is very reactive to dairy in my diet.  She spits
up/vomits, diarrhea, and has terrible eczema flare ups.  I've found that
I can eat some cheese (that fake yellow stuff on McDonald's
cheeseburgers) without much consequences.  I've also tried the tofu based
ones although they also have casein in them.  However, if I have
something with whey in it, she reacts almost immediately.  This is
usually hidden is some sort of bread product.

I know that babies sometimes out grow the milk allergy/sensitivity, but
does anyone know what the statistics on that is?
