Hello,
I have just discovered that my 5.5 mth old is allergic to cows milk after giving her 2 spoons of baby rice mixed with Aptamil. Previous to this she has been exclusively breastfed & has suffered from eczema since 3 mths or so. We have been referred to an allergy consultant and await an appointment. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this and thinks that there could be a connection. IE could an allergy (full on allergy not an intolerance) to cows milk cause extensive hives from a tiny amount of formula and eczema from my breast-milk. I have stopped eating dairy since the allergic reaction and the eczema is a lot better and she is hardly scratching at all, but i'm not sure if this might just be effects of the antihistamine she had 2 days ago ? How long do the effects of a dose of antihistamine last ? I don't want to get too hopeful that we may have found the solution to our eczema woes.
