Cow's Milk Allergy? Eczema? Help!!
Ladies,
Was wondering if anyone can help me...my DS has had what the doctor termed as infantile eczema since he was about a month old. Tried 5 different brands/types of infant formula (S26, Nan, Similac, Nan HA, Nursoy) but the rashes won't go away...Was advised by our pediatrician that he has Cow's Milk Protein Allergy and we must put him on Neocate (elemental milk which is unbelievably expensive!) about 5 weeks ago, but still the rashes won't disappear. Have been moisturizing him per doctor's instructions BUT I noticed that every time I do, the rashes appear a lot worse! Tried Jergens, Cetaphil, Lipobase, and now Stelatopia but same effect! Noticed that the rashes start where the diaper ends, so it got me thinking that he must be allergic to the laundry detergent that I use (Purex). Did some research and learned that non bio laundry soaps are better fo sensitive skin so went to both Geant and Carrefour today and found several brands. Now I do not know which one to get! There's Fairy Non Bio, Easy Non Bio, Charm Non Bio.. Duru??
Which one is BEST for a baby's extremely sensitive skin? Also, since I wash my baby's clothes in the same washer I use to wash our own clothes (and I use Ariel or Tide) does that mean we all have to switch to using non bio laundry detergent? What non bio detergent is the cheapest BUT equally effective as the more expensive brands? With the cost of Neocate and a non bio laundry detergent, I think we will go broke in no time! :(
