Almonds

I had this little suspicion that Laila's eczema was brought on by all of the almonds I was eating. I cut almonds out of my diet, which didn't clear up the eczema, however, it did go away once I started treating it correctly. Things have been improved for a little while now, so I decided to try some almonds to see if it was all my imagination - so the night before last I ate about a handful. Low and behold, her face started peeling a little bit last night, and now today it has started to get a tiny bit red and bumpy on the forehead and around the nose. So it seems that Laila may have an allergy to almonds! There is always the chance that it was all just a coincidence, but to be safe I am going to cut them out of my diet completely until I am done breastfeeding. I am also going to talk about it with her doctor at her next appointment in two weeks. Perhaps we will need to get her tested for allergies.
