My boys both have had reflux since they were a couple weeks old than they started getting colds every month and now it's like every couple weeks. Since they turned about 6 months they've had horrible eczema. Do you think this could be all related to allergies?? I'm so upset that they keep getting sick Do they ever do allergy testing on babies?
a friend and I were just talking about this...she told me that her pedi said seasonal allergies dont occur in infants until 9-10 months or so. I would give your pedi a call or take them in and see what they say.
That's heartbreaking to hear about your babies and their reoccuring issues What has your pedi suggested?
My older DS had eczema when he was a baby and his ped said that was a connection/link between eczema, allergies, and asthma. I would think it would definitely be possible that your babies are having some type of reaction to something. I hope they feel better soon. :hug:

He said that 13 colds in the first year of life is considered normal. I haven't talked to him yet about the eczema and the fact they are on their way to passing the 13 colds in a year I have an appointment booked for next week.
