14 weeks old DS, been formula fed since birth. Around 6 weeks of age, started to develop dry skin on face, belly and arms. It became very red looking and very dry. Started using differnt moisturisers and change up bathing.
Went to the GP again around 10 weeks of age who said its eczema and prescribed differnt creams.
His skin has improved and some days you can't see any redness and very well moisturisered now. However, some days his skin flares up really bad, to the point his face looks sun burn with how red and angry it gets.
GP has now said its a cows milk protein allergy and prescribed Nutramigen LGG 1. Which DS hates, it has to be served and made at room temperature water, DS likes warm bottles so this is a challenge in its self let along the taste difference.
Question is, if he had CMPA, would this not have been present from birth as I formula fed from hours old, instead the skin problem/eczema only developed around week 6/7, it flares up and down some days can't see anything, other days it looks angry and sore. Is this really a CMPA or just eczema as DS hates the hypoallergenic formula and I'm now stressed about weight gain ect...
