Kaelyn had eczema and cradle cap. Her eczema gradually spread and became more like hives, then almost like boils. She also gets awful, awful diaper rash if she gets into something that she’s not supposed to (or if we mess up and give her a “bad” food).

We did the RAST test at 14 months. It showed her milk and wheat allergies. It tends towards false negatives, so when her symptoms improved, but didn’t completely clear up, we did the skin prick test which showed her apple and peach allergies.

I’m so nervous b/c Corinne has already shown such an aversion to the bottle and I’m afraid any switch will cause her to be even more weary at mealtime!!

I guess you can only give it a try. When I had some trouble with Alana taking it (she actually had gastro and it wasn’t the taste) I contacted the company and got a few suggestions to flavour it (golden syrup, pure vanilla essence). Heres a post where we talked about it

The other thing you can do is transition her…like 1/4 of the new formual with 3/4 the old and slowly increase the new forumla over a week or so.
