Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 My daughter was breastfeed for 15 months, but fevers started around 26 months. She had allergy testing done around the same time she was diagnosed with (around 2 yrs old). She has a mild allergy to peanuts and stomach in tolerances to wheat, dairy & eggs. I have been told by her pediatrician & naturopath that there is most-likely no link between & food allergies, however since changing her diet, her fever cycles grew longer. Used to be every 3-4 weeks, now every 6-7 weeks. Overall, she is a " healthier " child since the diet switch. Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I don't know about breastfeeding and , but I breastfed my son for 14 months and introduced solids at 6 months. He had problems from the beginning with new foods (he developed eczema) and began having autism-spectrum like behaviors at 12 months. While he still has difficulty with mood regulation and has learning differences, as well as this blasted , when we are careful with his diet, his life is improved in many ways (food sensitivities can also cause respitory problems so it's worth looking into--if one allergist won't do an atopy patch test for possible food issues, try another one!). Also in terms of diet (we get plenty of sun in N. Texas, so I don't think vit. D is an issue for us), we've also noticed a difference in my son's fever pattern when we're strict with a gluten/casein free diet (once had a 50 day break) and that when we slip up on his diet, the fever comes sooner.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I breastfed for the first year and also made my own food, but I also gave a vitamin D supplement. I live on Vancouver Island and dont see much sun for the winter months either....interesting B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hello, I breastfed my daughter for 13 months, however she started fevering at 11 mos. She has not been tested for allergies (although we may do that next). She is vegetarian and eats mostly organic and very little processed foods.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 In regards to the vitamin D question: I didn't supplement vitamin D but we live in California and my son was born in July. He had a ton of sunlight his first year. He was jaundiced at birth and after 24 hours of phototherapy I made sure he had 10-15 minutes a day of full sun exposure without sunscreen. -- Mom to Renan 3 1/2 fevering since 8 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Sorry, forgot to mention that we live in Southern California and we are outside in the sun every day so I'm pretty sure Vitamin D has never been a problem.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hi , My son is 26 months old and is still breastfed. He started fevering at 6 months, although we suspect it started around 3 months. I'm currently in the process of weaning, and now we are experiencing more illnesses because of it and the fact his fevers have been under control from colchicine.
