My daughter is 3 months old and has been suffering with eczema since she was six weeks. I am at my wits end now. I really don't want to use steroid creams. I have changed all her clothes to 100% cotton, changed washing powders, am using all different creams (dermeze, QV oil for bath and repair lotion, sorbolene to bath with, atopiclair which helps a bit but doesn't take it away and medihoney which seems to burn as my daughter cries when I put it on so I stopped this one) I've tried eliminating dairy from my diet as I am breastfeeding and now egg. She is getting worse. I have an appointment for an allergist and dermatologist but only in over a months time. She scratches at her face all the time and her entire body is covered in eczema. Her skin feels like sandpaper. Her sister had a milk allergy so I am presuming she has some sort of allergy as well. My question is - if it is the food I am eating that is doing this to her, wouldn't it be better to stop breastfeeding and put her on soya. Has anybody tried this and did it work? Please give me some advice.
