Hi Katie, My son is only 8 months (although I’ve been using wellness mama since long before becoming a mum!) and my plan was to wean him according to WAPF principles but he seems to be reacting to salicylates with eczema, as well as eggs and dairy. So my plan has been blown out of the water, do you have any tips? I am pretty clued up on nutrition but really struggling with this. Many thanks from London, UK.

This podcast with Jennifer Fugo was amazing. I have a question about my 13 year old son who seems to have ever worsening eczema. Unfortunately he has been bombarded by antibiotics since before birth when they treated me for a strep infection. Then again at 6 months for a skin infection on his forehead. Over the years I have lost count how many rounds he has had. But the last 6 months have been awful. 3 rounds: one for ‘bronchitis’ and 2 for more skin infections. His eczema this past year has been getting more and more out of control. Any suggestions for him would be invaluable as the doctors just keep prescribing topical creams but no real help to mitigate. Thanks
