“A lot of babies are born with an allergy to the protein in cow’s milk that can transfer through breast milk, if you consume dairy as the mother….and a common thing that doctors will tell you to do is to eliminate certain things from your own diet to make the breast milk easier for your child to digest. Dairy {from cows} is one of those top things. ” – Jessica Scott-Reid
