Jasmine's skin is definately going through changes! It has been roughly a week since we completely removed Dairy from her diet, sacking off the hydrolysed milk in favour of rice milk.
Following a spell of sickness (I think unrelated) and a sleepy recovery Jasmine's skin entered a super dry phase and was flaking profusely. Her face looked as if it had been sunburnt and was going through the process of shedding a layer or two.
This effect was happening all over her body, and we've noticed that after a day or so of flaking that area became so smooth! literally baby soft! ...something we're almost afraid to believe. When the skin is flaking Jasmine is initially very itcy, once the softness of skin has returned however the itch massively subsides.
The difference is staggering, I can hardly bring myself to think that it is anything more than a blip in case we wake up tomorrow and things have deteriorated again. Tonight was the 1st time in about 9 months that we've managed to have a bath where Jasmine isn't scrating herself to pieces and working herself up into a lather.
She even managed a little smile whilst playing with the boats. She used to love baths, so that's nice to see again!
Her appetite seems to have picked up again, and despite not finishing her dinner or bottle she managed considerably more than the previous two nights. To top everything off she also managed to pop another tooth out, finally! So it's been a tough week on our little monkey, super sicky, super sleepy, super itchy and a brand new tooth!
I wonder if next week will be as exciting :D
