Organic Baby Food – Can it Help a Baby With Allergies?
Shortly after adopting our three week old son it became evident that he was having a problem holding down almost everything that he was fed. His skin was also getting small bumps over most areas of his body. When he was about 4 months old he started to itch and scratch affected areas until they would bleed. He would even pull out his hair in areas of his head that itched. Eventually we found the only way to stop severe scratching and hair pulling was to cover his hands with athletic socks and tape them to his arms so that he could not remove them. This problem persisted for months. After many visits with his pediatrician and several specialists it seemed that every suggestion we tried did not work.
