Elimination diet for baby's skin asthma

In a desperate attempt to handle baby Milk's skin asthma (eczema), I've started an elimination diet.

My diet plan is to eat from a very limited list of 'safe food' and slowly introduce more items.

When I started, my assumed safe foods were: rice, buckwheat, pear, apple, olive oil.

The first day I ate rice all day and then her evening diaper had some blood in it for the first time ever. Bad start! Did I discover my allergen right away?

No more rice. Buckwheat is now my daily meal. Good thing I like it.

Today is day 3 of the diet and I'm not sure whether I'm seeing an improvement in Milk's skin. I think I do, but it could just be wishful thinking.

Baby got skin asthma

Baby Milk got diagnosed with skin asthma (eczema) and I'm so broken hearted. Just as she was starting to get over her tummy problems, too... We just can't get a break.

She's been having dry patches for a while and we finally took her to the pedi and got her diagnosed. Doc prescribed 2 non-steroid creams - a zinc cream and a special moisturizer.

We got the diagnosis last week, and Milks' skin still seems to be getting worse every day. I'm so depressed. I hate it.

Two month shots

Baby Milk got her two-months vaccines yesterday.  I went for the standard vaccine schedule, not spacing them out or skipping any.

I was so scared for her, hearing all kinds of horror stories about suffering, high fever and weird side effects.

Luckily, it went swimmingly and aside from a slightly sleepy baby that morning (bonus!), there were no side effects.
