Can I continue breastfeeding if my baby is diagnosed with CMPA?
Many pediatricians and gastroenterologists recommend continuing breastfeeding even with a CMPA diagnosis. The mother should follow a strict elimination diet, removing all sources of dairy (including hidden ingredients in biscuits or snacks) and potentially other common allergens like soy or egg if advised by a doctor. Breastfeeding provides vital protection and nutrients, and many infants improve significantly once the allergens are fully eliminated from the mother's system.
