Okay...DD has eczema. DS had it too, quite badly. I thought I'd gotten off scot-free with DD but nooooo.
I know what worked for DS but before I go down that route once more, I'm on a bit of a chemical free kick at the moment and would like to know if anyone has successfully kept baby eczema under control with natural/organic products.
I had no luck with DS and organic products and I will admit I get quite shirty when people bag out pharmacy products because in the end I believe the greater good is getting the eczema under control. However, I'm willing to give it another whirl with DD.
Product suggestions anyone?? Gaia and Aromababy were useless for DS so I'm particularly interested in hearing about other brands and success stories.
My DD gets patches of eczema on her so not really bad, but I use Calendulis Plus Cream it is a Grahams brand that uses natural ingredients. It works for us.
I used to put 1/2 cup oats in a stocking and put an elastic band around one end and drop 3-4 drops of lavender oil on it, then I would pop it in the tub as it was filling up. It was much gentler on their skin!
Hi
I've had some success with Little innoscents nappy cream, as long as I remember to apply it every time I change ds' nappy.
I got a sample at the parenting expo, but have since bought some.
Good luck
I took DD to a Natropath who cleaned it up in no time at all. As it was DD had issues with here liver not processing correctly (she had jaundice at birth and required special care and had to go in the sunbake machine - I can't remember the technical name for it).
The naturopath gave her some drops and got her liver back in order and the exzma cleaned up and hasn't returned and it was rather bad too.
I use Medihoney Eczema cream. It's based on antibacterial honey and is the only thing that always worked for DD1. If she ever has a flare up, medihoney does the trick. Avail at chemists xo
