Hi there,

She could very well be allergic to dairy, whether she is on a dairy based formula. My daughter was on a dairy based formula from when she was about 4 months old. She had started getting eczema when she was 5 weeks old.

We tried everything, switching formulas, different foods [obviously when she was older]. Nothing seemed to work, so I kept her on the dairy based formula because it worked for her, and soy just didnt, it made her really sick. Also I will add, that my daughter was fine with yoghurt, cheese and all this, but if I took it away she would still continue to get eczema so I didnt think it was dairy at the time.

We went to the doctors and the pediatrician and they just gave her creams, and suggested we use goat soap [which is really good] Also, moisturize, and bath in no soaps etc, which I'm sure you already know.

ANYWAY, long story short, we got a allergy test done, and it came back she was allergic to nearly everything under the sun, [dairy, rye, rice, wheat, eggs, nuts, soy, citrus fruits.]

So, she may be allergic to the dairy formula as well, don't rule it out, because I did, and was very shocked.

but yeah, not saying that is the same case with your baby, just telling you the story of what happened to us

She is now on goats milk
