Can someone please remind me that it is okay that my perfectly content, non-dairy, 20-month-old breastfeeding son is getting all of the calcium and nutrients he needs from BM and is growing just fine? He is such a petite guy -- 21.5 lbs. and just over 31 inches, I have no idea how much breastmilk he is taking in each day but he nurses a couple of times a day and lots overnight. I almost always feel a letdown and can hand express a few drops throughout the day. DS eats lots of fruits, veggies, meat, and grains and has flax, olive, or hemp oil every day. I'm feeling a lot of pressure to give him dairy and because of family allergies and a flaming diaper rash that peeled because of possible dairy or wheat consumption (while traveling), I'm scared to introduce either. Thanks!
