Alfamino rash?
Baby has been on Alfamino and we have always had problems with it, but reason for going on it was due to a bit of eczema recommended by doctor. He is 7 months now and he has this constant rash on his abdomen, I notice when he drinks Alfamino he itches his nose after and I’m starting to think can Alfamino cause allergies too? Has anyone ever experience this?
We did do 1oz of normal formula then upped to 2 with Alfamino as doctor said try and he was much better then rash did re appear after 2oz if normal formula so we aren’t sure.
Hey, document it. Note the time after feed that the rash flares, the time and intensity the scratching starts, and the time after feeding the nose rubbing starts. Then ask the doctor if you can have one tub of neocate, use that and see if the symptoms disappear. If they do, clearly there is something in the alfamino they’re allergic to. If the doctor pushes back, tell them you’re looking to rule out alfamino as the root cause of symptoms. They hate prescribing neocate :-D (My epipen carrying kid is allergic to cows milk protein and egg).
