My son has a dairy allergy. He has bad excema too.
I use oilatum j in the bath and aveeno cream. He also has hydrocortisone for when it flures up really bad. (all from doctors)
I bath Leo every other night now but i do have cut it down to just about 2/3 times a week when his excema gets really bad lately.
(I dont use any soap)
Its been confirmed by the allergy clinic at the hospital.
He had to have skin prick tests, at 8 months and recently again at 14 months.
1st time he had the skin prick tests for dairy, cow's milk, egg whites, egg yoke, dog, cat, soya, peanuts, almonds, a few other nuts,
2nd time dairy, cow's milk, egg whites, egg yoke, soya, peanuts, almonds, a few other nuts, cod, salmon, shrimp, tuna (another type of fish), tomatos.
He does have a reaction to fish which i have stayed clear from, he is having some blood tests regarding that.
When he was younger he use to react to tomatos in any thing, but he seems alot better now expect for raw ones. So i gave him them in sauces now.
His specialist said it is quite common for the raw tomatos to cause reactions bacause of the acid in them.
Since he was very young i have stayed clear from egg too, cooked in food or on it's own. His specialist has just told me to try to introduce some egg. 1st some in a cooked form like in cakes or egg pasta to see if there is any reactions, if its ok to try a boiled egg or something like that.
I still have to do this.
He has been given some emergency meds incase an allergic reaction happens.
(No epi-pen)
I have been told that he could grow out of the dairy allergies, sometimes at around 3 years old they said??
Luckly i am still BFing, but he has been given some SMA Wysoy milk (Which he won't drink.
I express milk everyday so he can have breakfast the next day.
Dairy is in so much stuff, im now a label reading mum
Ask to see a dietian too.
You need to look at your lo's calcium in take a day.
My dietian gave me some great leafets regarding it.
As my lo has not really been taking as much as he needs sometimes.
He will sometimes have soya smooth yogurt, but nor always.
Between 1 to 3 year old they need 6 stars aday of calcium.
Well i may be giving you too much unwanted info, so i will stop for now.
If you would like to explain anymore, please ask.
I probably have forgotton to answer a few things regarding your question.
Kind regards
