We experimented with adding a little dairy back into Anna's diet to see how her body responds (she has been without it for 6+ weeks due to a mild casein sensitivity). Yesterday, I gave her a small section of my bagel with a paper thin layer of cream cheese. The day continued as normal, but today we encountered the revolt. Sleep evaded her, she acted tormented by the mere suggestion of napping. When a nap did come, it wasn't long enough to be restful. She woke up crabby, clingy, and volatile. Later in the day we attempted a second nap, and that one plain didn't happen. By dinner time she sported the telltale rash over her bum. She conked out tonight from pure exhaustion, but is waking every hour, and sleeping restlessly in between her frequent wakings.
Oh we've been here before. Happily back to a dairy-free existence she goes.

So sorry for little A :( but glad that you've been able to isolate the dairy. Hopefully it will quickly leave her system! Good job, A's mommy!
