yes it could. my daughter had bad eczema on her face and it was due to her formula. She had other problems such as bad gas, rash, vomiting, etc. from the other formula.She tried soy, lactose free and they didn't work. Finally, she is on hypoallergnic (Similac Alimentum) and the eczema went right away!

Yes most definately Read on
Lactose intolerance (which is an allergy to the sugar in cow's milk) is another common reason why parents choose to feed their child soy formula. Possible signs of lactose intolerance may include: excessive fussiness, irritability, excessive spitting-up, gassiness or constipation. Symptoms may also include a "reaction" such as skin rash, eczema, or diarrhea. There is also research that indicates a strong correlation between increased ear infections and lactose intolerance. If you think your child displays signs of lactose intolerance it is important to talk with your pediatrician before switching to soy formula.

It could be and it could be easy to tell by trying other types of formula while this is the only thing he is having. It also could be something else such as washing powders or clothing materials. Is there anything that you have changed recently??

I have always believed so. My 17 month old hasn't had formula for months and months and his is clearing well.
