However, there can be a lot more various types of symptomatic discomforts that can happen to almost anyone. People have allergies to certain food or drink items and never know why they have symptoms or what the cause is.

Babies seem to be the most prone to allergies. In America, it is estimated that fully half of all children have allergies to cow’s milk and babies have the hardest time.

Even after one month of life of a baby that is breastfed by a mother who drinks cow’s milk, there is evidence of allergy. They have found antibodies to cow’s milk in the blood of one-month-old infants.

Many pediatricians, medical doctors, and researchers from all over the world recommend the discontinued use of cow’s milk for the relief of allergies in children. Asthma, ear infections, and mucus discharge tend to disappear when the milk is eliminated.

Babies have three ways that allergies show up when they are allergic to cow’s milk. And, these particular ways tend to contribute to a lot of colic and crying in the irritable babies.

The three big areas of the body most affected are digestion, lungs, and skin. First, is the problem with digestion.

While cow’s milk is great for calves, it’s very difficult for many tiny human babies to have to deal with. The result is pain and constipation, which brings on crying and colic.

Most parents know what it is like to have a fussy baby, they don’t realize that a main contributing factor is the cows’ milk in the formula. Even though a mother nurses her baby, the baby can still develop allergic reactions to her being the one to drink cow’s milk or eat dairy products.

The next problem is with the whole breathing system of babies because of the mucus discharge that the milk evokes. Common problems are asthma, coughing, and stuffy noses.

Interestingly, the Eustachian tubes in the ears have a connection to the nasal passageways of the nose and can also become infected. This is typically called an ear infection, it’s very serious if left unattended and can cause deafness for babies.

The third problem is with the skin as babies can get mild to severe diaper rashes. Of course, it’s important to promptly change baby’s diapers, but there is still a skin sensitivity that prevails and can spread as rashes to various parts of the body.

Many pediatricians have become knowledgeable on these issues with the cow’s milk and allergies. They recommend that mothers totally get rid of all dairy products if they want their babies to be well and happy.

It works for adults just as much as it does for babies. Keep the baby, but throw out the dairy products. Calves are the only ones who should be drinking the milk from the cow’s udders not humans.

Just say no to milk and watch your family’s health improve. It’s a common deadly drink to avoid.
