As we don't have any cow's milk protein allergy history in both my
and my husband family, that's why we took 4 months to discover this
problem on JY.
She had rashes on her face, neck
and even in her ear few days after she was born. I tried all means and
ways to tackle her rashes problem i.e. stopped post-natal malay massage
(thought might be allergic to the oil), changed her bedsheets every two
to three days, brought her to visit n-times of PD - from heat rash to
fungal infection - ended up with endless steroid cream - however it
doesn't help at all.
Only till when I visited a PD in
my hometown, the PD suggested it might be food allergy which never ever
cross my mind before as we don't have such history before. As i was
still breastfeeding that time, so i headed PD advice and stopped
drinking milk, guess what? Jiaying's rashes were noticeable subsided
alot!
Remember it can take 10 days to 3 weeks to
eliminate cow's
milk protein from your body, so JY's rashes took about 2 weeks to
fully subsided. However, her rashes has turned into eczema problem on
her neck, wrists, ankles, crease between buttock and legs.
I can understand the tough journey of
parents with eczema problem children, as i was one of them before. For
example, they tends to be fussier as irritation from eczema, and
sometimes even disturb their sleep. We have to say no to any dairy
contain food, but unfortunately lots of food like baby cereal, biscuit
do contain traces of milk. So I can only go for organic range of baby
food.
Here I would like to thanks to the science of nutritional immunology which helps solved JY's eczema problem.
