Dd is 11m and has so far had no probs at all with food. She had mild eczema af ew months back and GP prescribed Oilatum cream and canesten which cleared it up. (BTW, have not seen anything else on any eczema threads about Canesten - anyone any exp of it with babies?).
Recently (in last 2 weeks) began introducing cows milk; up to now, mixed with formula (Aptimil) which she seems to love. She's taken very well previously to cheese and yoghurt and milk in cooking, etc. However, the last week has been hard for her. Her eczema has flared up again (cheeks, round her "minnie"(!) and bottom) and creams used ,last time not having much effect. Have started using Oilatum in bath. Her nappies have been horrid this week, and many more dirty ones than usual. She's woken up lots of times in the night (v.unusual for her) and at times has been inconsolable. Her top 2 teeth have popped through this week as well and lots of her problems can bee attributed to teething, according to my m.i.l. but I'm not so sure. The last 2 nights have been fine again which might indicate worst of teeth pain is over?
Her eczema doesn't seem to bother her at all, she's not scratching it, it's not weeping, but it looks unsightly and and is if it should be sore, IYKWIM.
Any suggestions? I'm dreading it being diagnosed as lactose intolerance, as we rely on dairy products for much of her protein (she's semi-veggie). BTW we are going to the doc's this week, but would appreciate your experiences/thoughts in the meantime. Thanks.
