A couple of years ago I worked with a mom whose EBF baby had the 
worst eczema I had ever seen - raw open wounds on face and scalp, 
just ghastly.  Mom duly eliminated from her diet the very large 
quantity of dairy (and occasional beef) she had been ingesting.  She 
substituted goat's products for bovine. The eczema improved, but 
didn't resolve. A kind lactnetter let me know that goat's proteins 
are 80% the same as bovine, and suggested that mom eliminate goat 
products too.  She did, and finally the eczema completely cleared, 
though it took several months.  She substituted sheep's 
cheese/yoghurt, and ate pork and chicken and fish instead of 
beef.  To see the little girl's clear, smooth skin again was worth 
all the sacrifice! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it happen.
