Is It Feed Infants With Goat Mild While Suffering From Eczema?

Nutramigen is a hypoallergenic formula.It will not contribute to eczema
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
For a child who has eczema, it is definite that an allergic condition is present. The fact that Nutramigen needed to be given, indicates that there could be a milk allergy associated. It is possible that the child could have allergies to the goat milk as well and I would not think of the idea of changing over to goat milk as a very good idea.
As a matter of fact, a child of this age does not necessarily need milk in the diet if other semi solids are given properly as a source of nutrients. I think that introducing the various componets of adult diet yet in mashed form, should be a priority than giving goat milk.
Try to identify the specific ingredients that your son is allergic to. It is not often easy to do so. I do not think that changing over to goat milk can be helpful in this regard.
Hope that helps.
