    Dd didnt mind goats milk. I got the green carton one with a goat at the front from the supermarket, fresh milk section.
    But it didnt improve her eczema.

    Dd hated the organic soy which is browner in colour I think vitasoy organic?

    Will definately true almod milk now. My health crazed brother alwaays tells us to eat a handful of raw almonds a day, I shoould ask him why tomorrow

    Becuase they are packed full of protein and very little fat...my personal trainer got me into the habit of almond scoffing!

    Yeah I hate Vitasoy too!

    oops, sorry just seen after I re-read your post that you already tried goats milk - sorry it didnt work to help clear up the eczema.. maybe the almond milk would be good to try.. and someone else mentioned oat milk which is really yum, but not a great idea if any chance your bubs might be allergic to gluten..
    angelaartstudent - there are 2 brands of fresh goat milk Im aware of that are availalbe in WA - 1 made in gidgegannup and 1 from busselton - i think a seasonal thing only available at certain times of the year. i have seen it at online coles, IGA Wembley, fresh markets like Herdsman/the boatshed/Carine Glades, and organic food stores..

    Have you seen a dermatologist for her eczema? It might not be an allergy-related issue at all and fiddling around with diet might not be the ultimate solution either. But you really need to make the effort to have her properly allergy tested. I know it is a huge PITA to fight with Dr to get them to listen to you, but it really needs to be done if you are to find out for sure what is her trigger. At her age she does not need dairy as a diet staple either. There are plenty of other food sources that are calcium rich that you can give her instead and totally avoid the dairy altogether. Personally I think non-fermented soy is evil and should be avoided at all costs.

    What's the youngest they can get allergy tests? I keep getting told that P is too young.
