Good job on tracking, I know it's really confusing. If you are sure it's not environmental, food is the next step. I highly recommend a food sensitivities test for you both at some point. It's been hugely successful for us. Rice cereal is good to get back to square one,but see if you can make your own by making brown rice and then pureeing with your milk or water. IMO, the store brands are so refined and not a great first food. Thanks for visiting! Michelle – I noticed a flare within the same or next day. Good job on tracking, I know it’s really confusing.

She's still breast feeding and we restricted her to just rice cereal because of her condition. I've created a food and product journal for myself tracking what I eat each day, the products I used, as well as, whether my daughter had a flair-up. Just wondering if you noticed the flair-up right away, a few hours later, or day(s) after your baby ate the food she was allergic to? Any help is greatly appreciated.

The suggestion of a good probiotic was actually confirmed by my ND today! He related skin, the digestive and respiratory systems together today, especially in small children. One mention that he reminded me of was the benefits of dry skin brushing using a natural loofah brush and starting with the legs, brushing towards the heart. We will do this for our daughter to help clear up the remaining dry bumpy issues we have. Angela - Thank you for your compliment, I feel very gratified to be able to share my experience if it helps another in some way :) I hope you find a solution to your eczema soon - probiotic - yogurt, BIO K, Kefir? I know I said cow dairy was often a cause, but fermented or cultured dairy can have a healing effect if you are sur ethat an allergy does not exist. Smilinggreenmom- Thank you!

I will bookmark and pass this along to moms who call me with eczema in their breastfed babies. You present pertinent information in a wonderfully non-threatening way. We have dealt with eczema for years in our house. The babies were all cleared of it through me stopping dairy, but strangely enough, my own case has developed...and gotten out of control! I came across your blog as I was searching for solutions. Thanks! Excellent post! I will bookmark and pass this along to moms who call me with eczema in their breastfed babies.

It is awful - our son had it so bad since he was a baby and when he was two and had become steroid dependent - we began looking into more alternative approaches. We are so happy that we found a children's chewable probiotic that he not only LOVES, but it has nearly cleared all of his Eczema and he can eat so many more foods that he would once react to. It has been a miracle! You ahve such a cute blog and I am really glad I found it. I too have a mom blog called smilinggreenmom.com and it is all about natural green living and allergy-free living. :) I am so glad that you too have found help for your little one’s Eczema!

Yeah, I think if steroid creams were a one time thing I would agree that it is OK to use if all else fails, however, many times they need to be used over and over and I'm not sure this is of benefit if the condition does not clear up. Addressing the root of the problem has always been my mode of operation. I’m so sorry to hear how bad your daughter’s eczema was :( but glad to her there is some improvement.
