My daughter is 18 months old and has very bad eczema. Regular formula & cow’s milk only makes it worse so I put her on Soy formula. I read that soy products contribute to eczema also. What Kind of formula can I give her? She is a preemie baby so she need the extra nutrition in the formula because she is underweight. Suggestions?

My 3yo son also has bad eczema as well as dairy and soy allergies (plus dust, pets, citrus, nuts, etc etc etc).
He was breastfed, so we didn’t have to worry about formula — but now he is drinking rice milk. I would suggest looking to see if there is a rice-based baby formula out there. Rice milk doesn’t have the same nutritional makeup as cow’s milk or even soy milk — but it’s something he can drink and that’s been a huge relief as it is!

You really should discuss this with your pediatrician or take your daughter to a gastro-enterologist.
My daughter had a milk allergy and was on Similac Alimentum, it is hypo-allergenic. It worked great for my daughter, she was on it until 13 months and now is on Soy.

You could try goats milk, a friend of mine used it for her ‘lactose’ intolerant son. I’m not sure whether they do a formula feed for it. Check with your health practitioner as your daughter may be able to give up formula.
