Hi, I'm looking for some advice.
(Previously put this post up but couldn't post a pic at the time so have redone and will ask for original to be deleted).
Dd is 13 months, was bottle fed (c&g anti reflux formula) and weaned onto a mixed diet at 6 months. She switched from formula to whole cows milk 5-6 weeks ago.
About 4 weeks ago she started getting this red pimply rash on her face, mainly down the right side of her face and under her nose. It doesn't seem to bother her at all. I originally thought it was eczema (well, after it had been there too long to be chickenpox or anything similar) and so have spent the last few months moisturising like crazy to no avail.
I'm starting to suspect it's a food allergy, and it seems like suspicious timing to have come on just after switching to whole cows milk. But given that she was on formula which contained diary and she had no issues, is that even a possibility? And if it is a possibility what milk substitute should I switch her to to trial this theory?
And if it's not the milk then how do I go about finding what it is?
Any thoughts or advice welcome. Thank you 🙏 I can of course take her to the GP and HV but haven't been overly impressed by their input in other issues I've had with DD before, but I will obviously go if needed. Just wondered if anyone had been through anything similar.
