Hi Mums,
I am new here but I really could do with some support or advice.
I have a daughter of 10 months who has been diagnosed with allergies (she had the RAST tests and was graded) to Milk(dairy),eggs,fish,nuts,wheat,soya.
She is on nutramigen milk and has been since diagnosed.
She also has bad eczema and itches constantly.
My dietician and dermotolgist have worked together on this and I have an appointment on wednesday but I feel exhausted.
LO is up every night sometimes 2 hours other times nearly all night and I am just so tired as is my husband. She has steroid creams for her eczema but they have not been helping much of late. last time I saw the dermo nurse she put her up to Elecon as she said the Eumovate was not controlling it.
Apart from her eczema she just cant get comfortable at night. she kicks about and fidgets as though she cant get comfortable for hours.
She goes to sleep ok at bedtime but the nights are just hell.
Has anyone any suggestions or experienced this - I have run out.
I have a suspicion that something else is going on. She has a lot of wet nappies and drinks a lot (of water) and frequent bowl movements (4-5 a day)
She has lost weight (on 9th percentile now) and is not eating much at all. I find finding foods without the named foods above really difficult. I have just rung her dietician but she seemed to want to get off the phone as soon as possible leaving it to the dermotologist to sort out.
