Well, none of my kids have been this sensitive yet.
DD2 gets eczema through winter, nothing major & it didn't appear til she was about 18 months old.
DS used to have the odd redness in his nappy area if we used shampoo/cond/soap in the shower with him (us using, him playing on the bottom) & I can't use powders on his nappies. Other than that he's fine.
Poor DD3 has dry red patches that are peeling all around the creases of her neck & the top of her back/shoulders.
Thing is I know how sensitive the others are, so I'm pretty careful, but I guess not careful enough. I don't use any soaps on her, but will now start with goats milk, & use no powders with her nappies, wraps or clothes. But, I guess I've let singlets & suits go into our washing on occasions...
If it wasn't raining I'd have rewashed all her clothes today in just water. My dryer died, so can't do it til the rain buggers off
I covered her back in aloe vera gel this morning & I'm wondering if anyone else has used this & if its helped? I'll be stocking up on all the relieving stuff for eczema tomorrow.
The CHN had a suggestion for us today. Smother her in sorbelene (the right one obviously), then get one of her jumpsuits, wet it, wring it out & put it on her.
It will sooth it & cool her down a bit (obviously not when its cold) & help her skin absorb the sorbelene. Has any one else tried it?
What do you use? Goats milk, sorbelene, olive oil, oatmeal?? Something else?
