what is low allergy weaning?

[Jane7]

Read about it on this thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/allergies/681877-eczema-dry-patches-baby-happy-am-I-being-neglectful which sounds just like me. My nearly six month old ds has developed what looks like excema on his back. It doesn't seem to itch or bother him much but it doesn't look nice. Because I had excema as a child, I'm super sensitive to it and keen to take action. The rash came exactly as I started to wean him, which I think I did too fast, so now i've gone back to breastmilk and baby rice and have heard about allergy-aware weaning, does anyone know what this is?
(also posted this on weaning thread - is that allowed?)

My version of this with ds2 was to avoid all of the following til 10 months: egg, soya, fish, dairy, citrus fruits, nuts and kiwi - then introduce one at a time (except nuts and kiwi which we are still avoiding as these are particular allergies within our family). By avoidance I mean total avoidance - no biscuits with milk in etc. I kept a diary of what he ate and correlated these with flare ups in his eczema (had to try milk 3 times before being convinced it was not related).

Anyway, he can't tolerate soya in large quantities but other than that is fine (ds1 had/has milk and peanut allergies). I'm not sure the low allergy weaning would prevent an allergy but it certainly makes them easier to identify so would recommend it for that reason.
