I recently spoke with a mom who has a 5 month old with eczema.  Mom has 
eliminated dairy, soy and eggs for the past week.  She has noticed a change in 
baby's skin, but it is not totally clear.  This mom is a vegetarian, so this diet 
is very limiting for her.
She asked if she must wait a full two weeks before starting to add some of 
the foods back.  I mentioned that I would be hesitant to restart any of the 
foods until the baby is totally clear of the eczema.
She also wondered when she was able start trying to add foods back, which 
would be the best ones?  She states she really feels the dairy is the culprit.  
Could she possibly start with soy?  I know there is a cross sensitivity with 
dairy, but I recently read it was not as high as I originally thought.  I 
usually advise starting with more processed dairy, like cheese.  I am concerned 
about her protein intake with this diet.
Any suggestions or tips for this mom?
TIA,
Judy IBCLC Upstate NY
