DD has developed a rash round her mouth and nose in the last few weeks. It looks like bright red pin pricks. I assumed that it was a reaction to food (I didn't perhaps go as slowly as I should have done when introducing new food ) so I cut out everything except plain vegetables/fruit (not tomatoes) and the rash is definitely better but not gone away.
I've realised that DD started to have formula feeds at a not dissimilar time to the rash appearing - its very hard to be specific cus the rash didn't just suddenly appear, it sort of developed.
Anyway, discussed with HV today who said it looked to her like a classic food reaction rash and to try lactose-free SMA for few days to see whether it got better. Thing is, I thought breastmilk had lactose in it so wouldn't DD have shown a reaction to that? Looking at the SMA website SMA LF is cows milk based so if it a cows milk protein allergy LF won't help.... but then if its a cows milk protein allergy, I eat dairy so wouldn't that have gone through into breastmilk????
Help!
