Hi all,
Our 16 month old has had CMA and been on special formula since 6 weeks. We have been doing the milk ladder with him and he’s progressed well. This week (Tuesday & Wednesday), we tried using semi skimmed milk with his Weetabix and he seemed to tolerate it with no break outs. On Wednesday night he was a bit clingy in the evening and had a disrupted sleep. On Thursdsy, wife took him to the doctors as he woke up upset and unsettled. Doctor said his ears and throat were a bit red and gave us Ibuprofen to try as she thought it was a viral infection. Thursday night/Friday he developed this rash (see pictures.) He was off his food on Thursday and only fancied toast but his appetite is getting back. He had a good settled sleep last night, been playing all morning and ate all of his Weetabix this morning with coconut milk. He seems to be a lot more settled than he was on Wednesday night/Thursday morning. Could the rash be a delayed reaction to the semi skimmed milk or viral?
Initially I was thinking hands, foot and mouth but his hands and feet are fine
just looking for some reassurance from other parents. No judgy comments back please
thanks
