Baby with eczema

[Guest guest]

Hi, I have a friend whose 5 mo baby has severe eczema... he is breastfed, has

had no vaccinations... she eats fairly healthy -- SAD but tries to eat whole

foods and organic. She did an elimination diet, thinking that dairy or wheat was

the culprit, but had no success.

 

Does anyone have any experience in a mama switching to raw foods to clear up a

breatfed baby's eczema? How would she go about it? I am still learning so much

that I wanted to have some more info to give her before I even brought it up.

 

Any input is appreciated.

 

TIA!

Just to clarify, the baby is exclusively breastfed and receiving no solids as he

is only 5 months old -- the mother herself did an elim. diet to remove anything

that might be triggering the eczema thru her breastmilk. She has no desire to

stop breastfeeding, and isnt' going to be introducing solids anytime soon. She

is receiving pressure to put baby on formula -- which her gut says is not the

right move, and I agree since if the baby is having a reaction to her

breastmilk, surely formula will just exacerbate that. I believe she is looking

into homeopathy and cosulting an osteopath who uses natural remedies.

 

I had also wondered about cleaning products in the home! I am not sure what she

uses.

 

I will encourage her to look into raw foods and other things -- I just wanted a

starting point for discussing it with her -- breastfeeding I feel very confident

talking about but I am new to raw foods and dont' have that knowledge or

experience.

 

Thanks
