Seriously, you are far from the only one that does that for her child. I actually VERY much love having my back rubbed to go to sleep - and fall asleep best that way. Eczema is a very horrible, itchy condition - it's so hard to get comfortable or get sleep. And it's entirely normal to want to sleep with others. The happiest time of my day is snuggling down to sleep with my youngest daughter and my husband. It's a short and precious time that we can hold them in our arms. You have done such an amazing job with your first child.
