My daughter is nearly 4 months old. I have been slowly weaning her off the breast and noticed her skin was becoming very dry and itchy. The doc confirm infantile eczema which I was quiet upset about. I've was given fucidin H which worked a treat. Also I was told to use a tar cream on her head - this gave her impitigo so was told not to use it again. I also switched to SMA Wysoy to see if it would help. Everthing cleared up but she really hated the formula, it made her very windy and ill a lot. She got sick a lot and it was mostly mucus, in the end she was refusing to drink it. I switched her back to the SMA Gold to see if that was the trigger and the eczema came back over the weekend. I read some of your posts and people had suggested farleys worked for them, I switched to that and it seems to have eased it somewhat. Can anyone suggest another formula, an organic one perhaps that might give least reaction?? I was considering taking her to a specialist to get her tested rather than spending months with trial and error on creams, milks, washing powders etc and putting her through hell. Has anyone had success with this.
I was away for a weekend and had to breast feed the whole time, her skin completely cleared up so I suspect the formula is the trigger.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
