infant formula for eczema?

[ratfly]

Has anyone found any infant formula that helps with eczema?
I tried ds on aptamil extra over the weekend, and his eczema has flared really badly. Not sure if its the formula, but I want to try something different anyway..

i had great success with BabyNat Organic Cow's Milk follow on formula, DD2s excema cleared up in a few days - and it was really bad (face bleeding .

anytime she had even a bit of any other formula her excema would flare up.

she's 21m now and is ok on dairy, though i have to limit it or her excema flares up again.

I think it depends on the baby's particular characteristics, some are good with certain brands while others aren't. In our case we tried almost every formula in the market but we didn't see a big difference in his eczema, however DS's constipation and bloatedners where almost gone when in Aptamil.

You may keep trying formulas or try to fight the eczema in other ways like trying different emollients, or ask your HV if there is an eczema nurse in the area, they may provide you then with clothes that may help the cream to work better and reduce the damage caused by scratching.
