While we definitely need calcium in our diet for health, it doesn't mean you need cow's milk. You can get calcium from a variety of plant-based sources - or use more cacao powder (chocolate!!) in your diet. These sources can be just as effective as calcium from cow's milk.

Easy Tips For A Dairy-Free Breastfeeding Diet

I’ve been dairy-free for six years now. It started when I was pregnant with my second babe, all of a sudden I just couldn’t seem to tolerate it. I assumed after she was born that it would ease up.

Why Choose A Dairy-Free Breastfeeding Diet? There are a lot of reasons why moms choose to embark on a dairy-free breastfeeding diet. It could be due to a suspected cow's milk protein allergy in the baby (MSPI) or that dairy no longer feels good for the mom.

Some common symptoms of intolerance to milk in babies are:

– Excessive crying – Lots of congestion and mucous – Skin irritations – Acid reflux

What Does A Dairy-Free Breastfeeding Diet Mean?

A dairy-free diet is exactly what it sounds like: a diet that includes no dairy. This means you’re eliminating milk, cheese, whey protein powder, etc.

Milk

There are lots of plant-based alternatives to cow's milk on the market today. Give almond milk or hemp milk a go. These two work best in things like cereal and smoothies.

Yogurt

The same thing as with milk, there are a lot of options now. Personally, I find cashew yogurt to be the thickest.

Cream

For recipes that include cream, you’ll be making canned coconut milk your best friend.

Cheese

This is the hardest dairy-free swap you’ll find as no vegan cheese is perfect.

While we definitely need calcium in our diet for health, it doesn't mean you need cow's milk. You can get calcium from a variety of plant-based sources - or use more cacao powder (chocolate!!) in your diet. These sources can be just as effective as calcium from cow's milk.

But What About Calcium?
