Hi my name is Melissa and I have an almost 1 year old son ( on May
25th) . He has been getting rashes frequently since he was 4 months
old but apart from telling me my son had an allergy no one wanted to
tell me to what. Well the rashes have been getting worse and on the
weekend he got a huge welt/ blister on his leg and off to the DR we
went. This time they did an allergy test and it came up with an
allergy to moulds and foods. We will know his allergies in more
detail soon as we have been referred to a peadiatrician and an
allergy specialist. We have been told to avoid Egg Whites, Milk,
Wheat, Peanuts and Soy Beans. We have been told not to switch his
cows milk formula until we see the pead which is next Monday. I have
been relactating again and building my breast supply up for a while
so hopefully being able to breastfeed again will also offer some
more support to fight any allergies.
I dont know much about allergies so hope I am welcome here to just
absorb some information
