Update--
Well, After looking at Raif the Doctor says that he has reflux which might be why he's sensative to milk and soy proteins. She gave us some medicine to give him and it seems to be working. But I'm having a terrible time trying NOT to eat anything with either milk or soy protein (it's in everything!!!) Dennis is busy finishing up the last assignments for his classes and it looks like he will only have ONE final to take!!!! Wow! Mom and Dad are coming down to help us move and we have already found someone to take over our apartment after us. I look forward to seeing everyone when we make it up to Idaho. Thanks for the upcoming events LaDawn, I've put them on the calendar and maybe we can make it to some of them. It looks like Dennis is graduating at the same time that Damian is getting his award so you'll have to give him a big hug from us.

Gin. Gin has neither dairy nor soy. Trust me.
Hey Angela,
I remember those days of discovering what I could/couln't eat. It is a pain, but doesn't last forever. You can probably get away with small amounts of dairy, particularly cultured dairy especially if he is on medicine. Just remember to supplement calcium if you'd rather not risk it. Other things that aid in reflux are feeding him in a more upright position, and even taking him off if you have a very strong milk let down until the initial flood passes and then put him on to feed. It is more difficult to nurse a baby with reflux, but it can be done. Does he have the puking kind, or just fussy, heartburn type? Aidan had the former and it was not fun, but I learned a lot which really helped me when it came to Ryan.
Or gin. Gin has no dairy whatsoever. It doesn't have wheat either, if you're worried about wheat allergies.
Truly, is there anything gin can't do?

If that info doesn't get you what you want then let me know.
If your doctor says to stop breastfeeding because of the reflux, I say forget that keep breastfeeding.
