My 5 month old ds has eczema from head to toe, he always has a snotty nose and he's quite sicky. He probably brings up a whole feed two or three times a week and mouthfuls of sick constantly throughout the day. I have been treating his eczema with hydrocortisone ointment 1% and it's not shifting. I've also been using aveeno cream which works really well for me and dd. The doctor just suggests a stronger steroid cream and when I mentioned the possibilities of allergies he said his stuffy nose was because of the English weather. He is ebf. Is it something I'm eating?! I'm feeling horrible and guilty that I can't make it better and it's starting to affect his sleep.
I use non bio washing powder and give all washing an extra rinse. He only has a bath 2-3 times a week and I don't put anything in the bath, no soap etc. He only wears cotton clothes and I try not to let him get too hot.
What else can I do? Should I cut out dairy from my diet?
