Hi Everyone,
LO has recently switched to mainly formula feeding. He seems to have developed eczema. It developed on his arms and face first. We got that cleared up with some rigorous creaming and moisturizing, but now it seems to be popping up on his back. It seems like it disappears from one area, its popping up in another...
He seems to always have had sensitive skin since he also had baby acne when he was younger. He doesn't have any other symptoms that indicate a milk allergy and is a pretty happy baby that sleeps through the night from 7-10 with a feed and then from 11 to 7 he sleeps through. He does not seem unhappy after a feeding so it doesn't look like its upsetting his stomach as far as I can tell.
Should I be concerned about a milk allergy or do you guys think it is most likely just sensitive skin as we live in the north and it is extremely dry right now in the middle of winter. I am hesitant to switch and try soy formula if it turns out he doesn't have an allergy and I just mess up with this digestive system for now reason..
Thanks for any advice or input!!
