I'm taking a break from snuggling my delicious three-month old nephew who's in town for the first time. I have a question regarding the eczema/allergy connection.
DN has oozy crust all over his body--the worst is on his head. He started out on regular formula but had a bad reaction (scaly skin w/yellow crusties, colicky symptoms, etc.) Then they switched to a soy-based formula, which cleared things up but caused projectile vomiting within a few days. Currently my BIL and SIL are experimenting with Alimentium/Nutramigen, but the scalyness (SP?) is back with a vengeance. Poor little muffin is scratching like crazy! Any BTDT advice? My SIL has sent away for a sample of Neocate as a last-ditch effort.
Also, he is on Axid for GERD/reflux, FWIW.
TIA!
