Dairy free

So today I finally saw the doctor about Henry's reflux. He is 99% sure that Henry is intolerant to all dairy, not just cows' milk which we had first thought. 
Since Henry's been born he's had really dry skin that's prone to being really rashy. We've always assumed that he got it from Mr B who has really sensitive skin but the doctor today said it's eczema, probably caused by the dairy through my breast milk and more recently, through the yogurt and cheese that Henry's been eating. He's pretty sure that's what's causing the reflux too.

So we are both under strict instruction not to eat any dairy whatsoever which means no chocolate at Easter!! I am definitely going to struggle without the cake and biscuits that I usually consume on trips out but will be trying out lots of dairy free recipes. If it means that Henry's reflux improves and in turn his sleep does too, it will definitely be worth it. Hopefully my poor baby won't have this awful pain for much longer.
