Is that dairy free or hydrolysed? If it's hydrolysed then it still has dairy in it. Ask for a dairy free one.

Update today, its gotten worse😢seen gp who said it could be eczema or milk allergy. We are already 1 week into aptamil pepti 1 for milk allergy but didn’t expect it to get worse if it was this. Anyone had any similar experience
