My DD is 6months and had a bad reaction to cows milk (given to her in rice pudding when weaning). I am still breastfeeding her so it was her first taste of cows milk. She has eczema too so I was kindof looking out for a reaction. Anyway... she's having blood tests on Friday for various things, eggs, nuts etc. I'm absolutely dreading it. They will take it from her hand.... and I have to get her to the hospital very early and on my own as DH is looking after our DS. It's going to break my heart I know but I think it's necessary to get her tested - does anyone disagree?
Also, I've had such mixed messages from various friends, doctors, homeopath... Does anyone have any experience of a risk of giving a child with an allergy to milk the MMR vaccine? The homeopath has told me not to give it to her at all or if I do to ensure it's the single vaccines. We looked into MMR loads when our DS was due to have his and we decided to give him the 3in1. Just because DD has an allergy and quite bad eczema, would giving it to her the same way cause problems (unless she's allergic to egg as know that's in the 3in1)? Help.. I'm so confused about everything. Think my brain may explode. Just want to do the right thing.
