I had been seeing the Paediatrician for the last 2 years at our local hospital and was struggling to be heard. I just became a new mum and my baby had really bad eczema. I cried for help but everyone kept telling that she'll grow out of it and it wasn't anything to worry about. I tried alternative milks but was told that my baby was allergic to cow, goat, soya milks and also was allergic to nuts and fish.
After avoiding all of those things for over a year, we finally got a prick test done and it turns out that she is only allergic to egg.
The stress on my family has been unmanageable, trying to avoid the above list. The endless prescriptions of creams and steroids drove the house crazy.
I am now being asked to reintroduce all of those things and I am very nervous as to how her skin will react now.
