I purchased and started using my machine in early Jan 2026 (now early July 2026) and the clean and descale light has never come on. I use it mostly for one coffee a day, and arguably should have just run these processes myself I know. Is my machine faulty though or have other people’s taken this long to come on too? The manual says it will light up itself..
My 7mo has recently been diagnosed with a dairy & soy allergy (from GP) after blood appeared in her poo. It’s the chain of events in interested in because we have a long wait for the paed and I don’t want to unnecessarily restrict foods that could actually increase the risk of further/prolonged allergies.
- since birth refluxy and had mucous poos.
- 1 month old started omeprazole due to pain after feeding. Sometimes really big vomits but only occasionally.
- 4mo took goats milk formula happily as top ups for a month but did always spit up with it.
- Around 4-5 months she stopped spit-ups.
- 5 months was exclusively breastfed again and no-spit ups. Still on omeprazole
- 5.5mo introduced dairy (yoghurt, ricotta, cows milk) and seemed to tolerate it. No change to her normal functioning or symptoms. Had about 10 exposures
- 2nd soy exposure resulted in blood in stool
- waited a few days and there was no more blood
- gave a bit of dairy again and there was blood in stool
My question is - should I actually be keeping dairy (& soy?) in my diet while breastfeeding so she continues to get low level exposure? I’ve cut them for the meantime.
