Did you find that the eczema was worse when on formula?
this happened with ds - he was bf, then I started introducing a bottle and this coincided with his developing eczema. When he was fully ff his eczema was awful.
We use Pepti - a prescription formula for babies with milk protein allergy - and his eczema is almost clear.

I have heard that aptamil is better for allergies, but if excema really bad you can get dairy free formular perscribed! Good luck!
